Waikiki with our Teeny Wahini

One of the perks to Brit's job is his traveling...
He gets to be away for a weekend a month and I get to watch whatever movies and shows I want for 2 days. His work just sent him to Hawaii and Lyla and I were able to go with him! It was so relaxing and wonderful! I realize I am a lot nicer when I hear the ocean.


Lyla loved the ocean, and it even helped her rashes! We do salt water baths at home now.



Yes, I did have to find spf 100 for my little pearl.

She was eating it by the fist-fuls! Isn't that some weird disease or something?

For those of you who have never been there, Matsumoto's Shaved Ice, on the North Shore, is like pure bliss in a plastic cup! They make their own flavors and for .50c more you get a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the bottom. The line is always, no matter what time of day, curved out the door into the parking lot. Last time we were there we got up early and had it for breakfast!

I chose rainbow, and Brit concocted some strange root beer-lime-grape...

I know he was envious of mine right away.

I have to make note of the sunbathing gentleman in the background. We just watched him for like 3 hours. He had a 20lb. weight, a football, one sandal, a camera, and his Minnesota Vikings beach cruiser distinctly placed around him. We would notice after a bit the places would be switched, like he was doing some fung shui order around himself. Every 20 min or so he would stand up and pump the 20 lb. weight! It was awesome. You can't make up family memories like that!
