6:00am... wake up time! The sounds of construction trucks backing up was the alarm clock this morning, They sure start work early. I guess it is to avoid the heat.
We took our time this morning and head out of the room around 9:00am for the north shores. We first headed toward Kailua through the mountain pass on hwy 61. What an incredible drive! Once we got near the beach we stopped at the first small parking lot we saw. We headed for the beach with our gear. It was a small path with a bath house shaded by palm trees. As we emerged on the beach the view was spectacular. The beach wrapped left and right for miles. The beach was not very crowded. There were lots children in the mildly gentle surf. The kids played in the water for hours. It was a lot of fun.
We left around 2pm in search of some more Hawaiian snow balls. GPS took us right to one of the best listed in our guide book. From there we started towards north beach but the GPS said we would not get there until 4pm. As we looked back Jonathan was asleep and Alex said he wanted to head home. So we diverted and drove back across the H3 through another mountain pass. The weather on the north side was cloudy and gray and when we emerged from the tunnel on the south side it was sunny.
After we got back to the room we cleaned ourselves up and headed out for dinner. We walked through the high-end shopping district so the Sansei restaurant. It was about a mile walk. The food was very good. Jonathan ate way too much expensive sushi. After dinner we walked back along the beach while the kids complained the whole way.
We stayed up later until about 10pm until falling asleep. The plan for tomorrow is the North shore.
