Wednesday Nov 5 we booked out a little early and were YVR bound for our 5:40pm flight (this was supposed to be a 2:35 flight- thanks Air Canada!!)
Onboard we settled in for the 6 hour flight- in flight movie was "hotel Budapest"- eh!
At 9:50pm Hawaii time we landed- boarded the shuttle bus (not before breathing in that tropical awesomeness!) at the Thrifty we upgraded to a Jeep- woohoo. Then off we went North Shore here we come- oh wait wrong way- lets try that again- H1 and North Shore here we come. Nope lets sit in traffic for an hour first (construction of course!) Nearing midnight we arrived- lucky Ayessha had waited up for us. To the apartment and straight to bed- travelling takes it out of a person:)
Thursday we woke early- well the girls did- they wanted to eat breakkie with Cece and Ellie before they headed to school. We were all up early and with Ted's Bakery coffee in hand we had a relaxing start to the day. Once the girls were off to school we got ready and dressed for the BEACH!!
First stop was the food truck at Sharks' Cove- breakfast platters and we were ready for the sun and sand. The waves were a little rough at the cove- but nothing the girls and Frank couldn't handle. They spent a few hours in the water - I spent a few hours in the sun- life is good.
Back at the house- we chilled and then when the girls got back from school- we all got in the minivan (baby on my lap- that's how we roll on the North Shore!) and off to Waimea. We toured the wonderful farmers market- had some fast snacks (poke and spam musubi- spam sushi!) after a lovely amble we decided to head up to the falls. The walk was so beautiful, flowers and plants if so many colours and varieties - too much to take in. But when we got to the falls they were shut down for the the day so the girls couldn't swim. We walked back and home. The girls all chilled and we were exhausted from a day of sun. Early to bed as tomorrow is another day.
