Hawaii: Day 2

Monday! Today we booked an excursion with a company. It included hiking the Kualoa Ranch. The same place where Jurassic Park was filmed. It was beautiful and gave us an amazing view of Chinaman's Hat (an island off of the shores of Oahu). We then kayaked to Chinaman's Hat and had lunch and snorkeled around the island. It was beautiful.

All of us on the Ranch. It was a beautiful hike and a gorgeous view.

After we were done with our hike we wanted to go for some good boogie boarding and our tour guide from the kayaking trip recommended Makapu'u Beach. It was fun, but scary. The waves crashed hard and way to close to the shoreline.

Once that boogie board was in his hand Robbie went from a mature Doctor to a 6 year old boy who just wanted to play in the water. It was so fun to watch him. He loved every moment of it.

Riding the waves. This shows how close the waves were breaking. It was so fun to watch.


After the waves, we hit up Teddy's Burgers. A local burger place. Of course I was filling up the 2 waters for Robbie and I and happened to fill them with tonic water (club soda) instead. I had gone to the bathroom before eating and Robbie had drank it, spit it out and then left mine as is. He had Jerom take a video of me drinking it...rude.
