Last Saturday we woke up super early and set out to do some site seeing that we'd been wanting to do for many weekends. Homework always got in the way! There's a lighthouse on a short hike at the opposite side of the island (the point between Kaneohe and Honolulu).
It's also whale season and this point is particularly good for spotting Humpbacks because you are able to get a view looking down on the ocean. Dave was able to see a few really good breaches. I thought it was hard to stare out at the bright ocean for more than 3 seconds, being distracted by the weeds and rocks that were closer up in my field of vision. I mostly saw only blows.
The vegetation is very different over here from Windward side where we live. I thought it was strange that there was so much cactus growing here. It felt more like Arizona than Hawaii... well, except for that big, blue, wet thing!
On our way over there we searched for the plane from LOST. As you can, we didn't really get a good look. But they say it's under that tarp! Raise your hand if you think Dave should be an Productions Assistant for LOST for his new job!
And on our way home from the hike, we went to 3D IMAX Avatar. It only cost $10 for both of us courtesy of BYUH's HR office and our completion of another health challenge. We couldn't leave without getting this awesome picture!
This post is dedicated to Heather who got mad at me for not updating the blog since December. If you read this much of the post, please post a comment so I will know that blogging is back in style!
