Day 1 & 2 in Hawaii


Sunday, Day 1:
We flew out Sunday morning at 9am. 6 1/2 hours later we arrived at the Honolulu Airport and grabbed our rental car. Once we finally found our way to hotel from the crazy streets we checked into our room. We decided to walk around the area to see what was around. We ate lunch at the mall and then headed towards Waikiki beach. We went to stocked up on water and some snacks at Walmart for the week. We went to Big City Diner for dinner, had some chilly dogs, the food was ok. We were TIRED by the time we went to bed, considering the 3 hour time difference.


Monday, Day 2: 
We had an early start, since Vegas was 3 hours, we woke up at 6:30 (9:30 Vegas time). We had breakfast at ihop since it was just across the street from our room. Afterwards we decided to head over to Pearl Harbor. We were going to spend the day at the beach but it was looking cloudy and a high chance of rain (which it did). We went to see the USS Bowfin Submarine and USS Missouri Battleship (where World War II was ended).


Afterwards we headed to grab some lunch and then made our way to the Waikiki Aquarium. It was fun to see all the many different types of fish. It would have been so fun to show the boys the sharks, jelly fish, eels, etc. We saw some huge and cool trees where there roots grew down from the branches. Super crazy but awesome!


 We drove to Diamond Head which is a cool crater of an old extinct volcano. There is a hike but we didn't go since we weren't sure how difficult it would be. We drove down to the scenic look out. We also drove down some neighborhood  till be could find an entree to the beach. We found some sort of sea slug, which looked very cool, but don't quote me on that since I am not very knowledgeable in that area.


We went and had dinner at Bucca de Beppo. Yes, I know, not very Hawaiian but it was right next to the theaters where we finally saw Captain America and then called it a night.
