Then it was time for snorkeling! (and sunbathing for Heid, she got her share of that :) ) Shark's cove. Greg knows Oahu well so he knew this was a good spot to snorkel. It wasn't too rough, it was a great day for snorkeling. As always snorkeling is a great time, we saw some cool fish. Greg was telling me to look out for the state fish.....
We wrapped up snorkeling and had to grab a picture of course.
Heidi and Staci went to the pool to work on the tan while Greg and I hit the golf course, the Fazio at Turtle Bay. The 3rd hole on the golf course was right outside the back of the condo where we stayed.
The back nine of the course was awesome.....the grass was just lush and the scenery was amazing. A few of the holes are right next to the beach and have ocean views. It was a great round of golf....not because of the score but the surroundings.
Yes we are golfing, not chillin at the beach....or are we doing both? Hmmmmm.
To top off the day Grill Boy Ardee chef'd it up with some grilled chicken, corn on the cob, rice and some fresh bread- poolside of course. It was a great dinner after another perfect day in Hawaii.
I am such a morning person. Even though it doesn't look like it, I was always excited and ready to go when I woke up. I was on Seattle time for sure, I don't think I slept past 6:30 am. First couple days Heidi and I were awake at 5am.
Greg and Staci had just finished a big argument and we were trying to get to them to look at each other and make up. hahahaha. I'm lying but you would have believed it by the picture. Awesome.
Ahhh yeeeah! The famous Matsumoto's shaved ice!!! We were all looking forward to this. First time for me. It lived up to it's name. The shaved ice was fantastic and the store was real cool. A lady in front of Staci and Greg completely convinced them that the ice cream on the bottom HAD to have red beans. She said they were just amazing. hahahaha. Greg and Staci thought they must be great. Not so much. But at least they gave it a shot. One of the guys working there said they go through 100 blocks of ice a day, and 200 blocks on a busy day! Nuts! We grabbed some souvenirs for our girls and headed on our way.
Staci really wanted to go to the water park so we went to have some fun at Wet n Wild.
Greg and Staci on one of the slides. I think some people got bounced around pretty good right in front of them. At that point Staci didn't want to go, she had seen enough. Greg refused and somehow had her on the tube.
This was one of the best slides (yellow and orange one). Head first on a pad. You get to race! That was great for Greg who pushes off at Ready, Set. Yes that's Greg at the bottom with me and Staci just shooting out of the tubes. Greg was disqualified for his early start. haha
The cheater celebrates! I kid, I kid
We stopped at Pearl Harbor and check it out. We arrived just a few minutes too late to catch the ferry to the USS Arizona. It was alright though. It's hot with all that pavement, and Greg had already been there enough times. Heidi has about 20 minutes worth of patience for stuff like this so it was all good. We toured the visitor center area, took some pictures, video and split. I'm glad we at least made it there.
Notice the big blank...no pictures from dinner. Whenever we would go an hour or 2 longer than we should without getting a good meal everyone would get so quiet. The laughing and joking stopped. Well I guess Greg and Staci got quiet. Heidi and I would either get quiet or start getting snippy with each other. Can't blame Heidi, she's pregnant....she gets a pass. I'm just a grouch face when I'm too hungry. If Heidi had been in a little better mood I'm quite sure that she would have had at least 5 pictures at dinner. Good times. You can picture us eating some shrimp and Lobster laxing under the fans with a distant view of the Beach in Waikiki. We all shared these dessert shooters, 6 of them. They were pretty good, but the concept was real fun.
A picture after we were happy and full after eating at Bubba Gumps. Waikiki Beach is in the background. Some drunk girl thought she was funny by jumping in our romantic, special picture. Oh wait. That's Staci! Picture bomb! This is her signature picture bomb jumping pose. She is one of the most notorious picture bombers on the west coast.

Heid and Stac enjoying the convertible.
We went to Waikiki Beach and arrived just before sunset. Perfect timing. Sunset at Waikiki is spectacular.
Beautiful Lady. She had been looking forward to a lei the entire trip. Greg and Staci surprised her and bought this from someone selling them on the beach. Well it was "here take a beautiful lei"......by the way you owe me 10 bucks kind of deal.
Heidi had a good time with this. She basically had Greg and Staci walking back and forth, it was almost a full on photo shoot. It was a blast. By this time I was hollering action and cut, while about 50 people were watching us looking curious.

We had fun in Waikiki. Glad we stayed on the North Shore though because of all the people there. It was pretty crowded.
