Well, first things first... I think those of you who read this already know by now, but Renee has been offered the athletic trainer position at Kalaheo! Woohoo! So to celebrate, Friday night we went downtown to First Friday which is something that takes place (duh!) every first friday of the month. We enjoyed a drink at a martini bar, then had dinner at a noodle house and walked around and looked into various art galleries that were open for the festivities. Then we checked out a small improv theater that was doing short 30 minute shows to get more people in and out of there. It was actually pretty funny and I think we may go another time to see the full length show. We also got to hear traditional Bon Dance music and see a Chinese dragon (operated by one person) on the corner. We topped off the night with a little slice of cheesecake from a local business... yum!
Saturday we didn't do much... ran a few errands and then went and saw All About Steve. Pretty funny movie, lots of the funny stuff is in the previews, but still a good laugh. Then we relaxed at the studio, swam in the pool with the fam (Lily loves the water!) and had them over for dinner.
Sunday entailed church, and then lunch with Mom at Pinky's... SO good... and then nothing but vegging and TV the rest of the day as it was very overcast and rainy the whole day. We watched Mr. and Mrs. Smith and The Breakup on TV... gotta love holiday weekend TV.
Today we were determined to do something outside, so we got up this morning and headed to Lanikai and hiked to the pillboxes. These are old, leftover bunkers from WWII... interesting pieces of history. It's a relatively short hike, strenuous at the start, but SO worth it... the pics (the first is from the beach entrance, looking up to the pillboxes), can't even fully illustrate the views... amazing! After that, we headed down to the beach that you can see in some of the photos and hung out for a few hours. That's it for now... until next time...
