Day 50: August 7, 2013

I was an only child today! Mom and Dad and I went to the windward side and did the Pillbox hike in Lanikai. LOVE this one! Of course we got some great pictures of the views. It was really cool to see a girl I graduated with at Duquesne on the hike. She looked so familiar and we started talking and remembered each other from classes. Small world! She moved here for her husband who is in the Marines. We went to a little strip mall in Kailua to get lunch before the beach; Dad got a steak sandwich from Peppers and Mom and I got salads from Aloha Salads. After lunch, we drove back to Lanikai, parked on the street and entered the beach at beach access # 5. I had went in # 3 last time, but I think #5 is better and has a larger beach area. This was our favorite beach! I really hope Dan can get to it before he leaves, because he has been talking about it since the beginning of summer and we just haven't made it there. We did some more snorkeling here and saw some really different pointy fish and really neat coral. We all enjoyed some relax time and then drove back to Waikiki.. I dropped them off at the hotel and went back to pick up Dan for dinner. We met Mom and Dad at The Yardhouse where they have over 100 beers on top and of course, Dad just got Miller Lite. After dinner we walked along the beach for our last date night :(
