The Beach (7 Jan 2011)

Well, we got a lot done today. We woke up and ate breakfast at Burger King. Then the kids played a bit on the indoor playground. Then we started for downtown Honolulu to find our car insurance cards. (You have to pick them up or have an address) We were driving downtown and it reminded us both of a very green looking Houston. Lots of buildings and such, with some plants thrown in. Well, driving downtown we didn't even think about parking. We were looking and all we saw were car dealership lots. We passed the building we were searching for but couldn't find a place to park. We tried to turn around and drove through a mall. Very weird. We finally saw a metered place and took it. The driving around took a while but walking to the building, picking up our insurance cards only took about 10 minutes. On the way back to our car we looked through the windows at a Ferrari dealership very close to where we parked. Aaron loved it, but Kara said she would rather see a Porshe. Our next appointment was in the opposite direction so we drove and drove again. On the drive we did happen to see a Porshe dealership. We arrived right on time to pick up the Highlander and got that taken care of as well. Then more driving. First fill up the tank on the Highlander. Then follow Andy to drop off the rental car. Then we drove to a pizza place to regroup. It was called Big Kahuna pizza and the minute you walk in the door you start drooling it smells so good. We ate a very tasty pizza and were on the road again to get ready for the beach. We drove to Haleiwa Beach and it was very pretty. The waves were rough so we didn't get in the water much. We just looked around a played in the sand. Aaron was determined to build a deep pit and Kara was content moving sand from one spot to the other. As we were leaving Andy took the kids to put their feet in the water and they loved it. Kara was jumping and splashing and Aaron just enjoyed the water. It was fun. After the beach we went to the PX and commissary to pick up some essentials so we wouldn't have to eat out at every meal. It was a very productive day. :)
