Day 5

Sorry... I've been a bit behind...I suppose that's island life for ya!!!

Today we decided to look for waves, a wave, any wave will do. X has been chomping at the bit to surf... Problem is , it just not the season...I guess. But his dad us DETERMINED to find the perfect location so x can "ride".  We traveled about a half an hour up the road, CB for this spot on our road back from Hana.  The waves looked AWSOME from the road, but after X and CB swam what seemed like a mile out they were met with  some rad 1-2 footers. Let's just say there wasn't a lot of hang 10 goin' on.  Disappointedly we packed the little suffer up and headed back into town.

We found ourself at Whalers Village ( the petite version of Fashion Valley Mall...I mean it had a Louis Vuitton, no joke )another part of Kaanapali over by the Shereton. If you park here at the mall you can just walk over to the beach, then have your ticket validated at the food court.

The spot to hang was at Black Rock. This beach had great snorkeling...the water was crystal clear...and even though there was cliff diving, the rock seemed a little to advanced for X to jump off of...i don't care how much Polynesian this kid thinks he has ( which tests have proven he has none...wrong island kid). I stayed on the beach with Peyton because his snorkel was malfunctioning.

The place: Whalers Village $
They had this DELICIOUS place called Subway, there X dined on a fantastic footling BLT. See where I'm going with this????...CB satisfied his hunger with a bacon cheeseburger from RubyTuesday... peewee and I ate at a "Sbarros". I really wouldn't come back to this mall for anything else other than to get our parking ticket validated by.

Once we filled our bellies with traditional mainland food, we went home to relax for a bit before we headed out for a night on the town in Lahiana.  This place was great...I have to say my favorite part of the island, quaint beach town with local shops, artisans crafts, a warm and friendly vibe, beautiful view of the ocean, rich history and the sound of families and laughter. Perfection. We played the part of tourist...bought island shirts, jewelry and gelato. This evening was more of a mommy night if anything...the boys were good sports though.
