A little hiking and beach time on Oahu

It's hard not to enjoy life on the island. There's just too much fun stuff to do - including relaxing!

Bob (my father-in-law) and I went for a hike in the morning up to some bunkers built into the hillside above the house we're staying in. Needless to say, the view was incredible. The hike was fairly intense, too. It was so much fun and so close; I'm definitely doing it again. It's great exercise.

When we reached the end of our hike, we found a beach chair atop the remains of a tiny little bunker house. Somebody was kind enough to pack it up the hillside for others to enjoy the view. We gladly took advantage of it and soaked up the incredible views.

We also took a drive up the east side of the island to the North Shore. We stopped for lunch at a park with a view of China Man's Hat.

Kyah loved playing in the sand. She only tasted it once and that was enough to keep her from doing it again.
