Day 48: August 5, 2013

This was probably our craziest day.. We literally drove to almost all directions of the island! Dad did not like the traffic at all. For the fourth time, I climbed Koko Head again with Mom and Sarah. Dad is not a huge fan of heights like that so he went to buy new sunglasses and get breakfast. They were really excited to see the view from the top, but I'm not so sure Sarah liked all those stairs. They did great! We met a lot of really nice people that we were hiking around.. my mom will talk to anyone!! It was awesome to meet a fellow Pittsburgher at the top who is stationed here in the Army. After the 1,048 stair hike up Koko Head, we ate lunch at Teddy's Burgers (military discount again!) and headed to Huanama Bay for snorkeling. I was pretty disappointed because the water was SO murky and you really couldn't see much at all. I definitely recommend going to the bay in the morning so that the water hasn't had many people in it to stir it up, because it was so much better the first time I went early in the morning. After lounging on the beach for a bit, we got our showers and got ready to go watch the sunset at the Ko'Olina Lagoons  and walk around the resorts there. But, HOLY MOLY! There was so much traffic.. It took over an hour to get there and we just made it in time for the sunset. It was absolutely breathtaking and so nice to walk through the Marriott and Disney Resort. I would totally stay there if we come back. After our walk, we had a reservation at Monkeypods and this was one of my favorite dinners on the island. Great atmosphere with a guitarist, outdoor seating, torches, and not crowded! We celebrated Mom and Dad's anniversary here with some anniversary chocolate pie!
