We went to bed pretty late last night after recounting all of our adventures in Maui to Steph. We slept in and had a lazy morning of just hanging around and chatting. After lunch, we headed out to check out the beaches on Steph’s side of the island. We initially attempted to go to the man-made lagoons at Paradise Cove, but there wasn’t any parking. That place fills up fast! We did get to see the new Disney Resort that they’re building right there…it’s going to be spectacular (I’m imagining my sister, brother in law, and nieces will visit it one day! J).
Since the lagoons didn’t work out, we headed to White Sands Beach instead. It’s a beautiful family beach that has views of both Diamond Head when you look to your left and mountains when you look behind you. We hung out there until the sun started going down, and made our way back home.
Because our plans are to head to Waikiki early in the morning, we decided to hang out at Steph’s to watch the most amazing display of fireworks off of her balcony. The fireworks started at 630 p.m. and went all the way till 1 a.m.. It was the craziest, most incredible amount of fireworks going off all at the same time that I’ve ever seen. Apparently, Hawaiians have a long tradition with going completely insane when it comes to setting off fireworks.
In between trips to the balcony, we sat in the living room and played a game of Taboo (I played on both teams – I won!!!). It was a great way to start of 2011!
