Day 3 and 4 -Oahu 2019

Yesterday we had the most relaxing day. We had to switch rooms, but that was no problem. We moved into a huge room. I feel so guilty because we could easily fit more people in our room. 😂 We started the day with a lovely walk along the ocean. We went down to see the one other Lagoon we had yet to see. We ate our morning meal while looking out at the water. Then, we sat by the pool and the beach, I got the best massage—so firm that it about killed me some of the time, but felt sooo good. And helped so much. We ate at Longboards for breakfast and dinner. Greg said, “we really need to branch out!” But the food has been delicious and the view of the ocean is absolutely gorgeous. We sat a lot in the hot tub, met lots of people from Utah, and later, I took a hot bath in our big bathtub. I finished my book, “A Dangerous Act of Kindness.” I liked it, but didn’t love it. I also finished the third season of The Crown on Netflix. And I didn’t know they don’t have the fourth season out yet! That was a shock. 😂  We threw open the shutters and windows in our room and fell asleep with the breeze. An awesome day in paradise. ❤️

Today we got up and headed straight for Diamond Head. It was great to get into the convertible and drive with the top down. I really love that! We had some Honolulu traffic, but we finally made it and loved the hike. The views! Oh my goodness! And the stairs! Oh my goodness! 😂 We went back to Waikiki after the hike (and changed into our suits in the parking lot!😂) and were astounded by the crowded beach!! So many people. We swam in the ocean, walked along the beach, looked at all there was to see, did some shopping, and finished with lunch at Duke’s. It was delicious, but we both wished we were having a sunset dinner at Duke’s on Maui. That’s our favorite romantic spot! We did, however, love devouring our favorite hula pie! Even the waiter was amazed we ate it all. 😳😬 We came back to the resort and have been relaxing, swimming, hot tubbing, reading, and we even went down the water slide! The afternoon light is fading and it makes me grateful for another wonderful day. I miss the kids. And I’m so grateful for my mom!
This was a good day to live. ❤️
