Waikiki Beach= paradise?

Before flying back to Seattle, we spent our last night on Oahu, checking out the famous Waikiki Beach. Here it is at night.

We stayed at a cheaper hotel in Waikiki city area, and what a shocker this place was! Everything was so crappy and fake- the whole city is created for a tourist to come and spend money like crazy, while never feeling like they are anywhere real. What a weird way to spend a vacation. But we made the most of it- we wandered around gawking at people and oddities, and played our new game, tourist.

Cruising in style!

Do you think she is excited about this ice cream?

(this is what I am excited about)

Rose dreams big...

We got a sweet coupon, went to a fancy seafood restaurant, and again celebrated Rose's birthday. There were six different people that waited on our table, and the one guy filled my water glass after every sip I took. Again, what a weird reality.

Y'all really pulled it off, even without your co-conspirators. Nice work as tourists. So glad you found the Mac store! Wicked sweet! You both must have been so psyched! I bet you both got matching Ipods... didn't you huh?!?!

Man...We were playing tourists to the core! It made me so tired! This time around we really did stop and have a couple cocktails at a resort! How did you guess about the Ipods? : )
