McNair Life: Our fun before Grandma and Aunt Rachel Leave

First of all, I'm sorry its been so long since I last posted! The doctor gave me Ambien and I don't think its worth it because it makes me verrry dizzy and nauseous! I'll probably take it as a last resort. She said she sees around 4-10 women a day with the same problem I have, so that made me feel better. After going to the doctor we went out to Bellows Air Force Station (where we stayed last week) and bought our tickets to the luau. The are around $30 cheaper a person if you buy them there, so it was worth it for us to drive out there. We swam for like, 10 minutes but the waves were a little crazy so we left. On our way to D&B we stopped at Sandy Beach to watch the waves there. They call it Sandy Beach because the waves are so big you can't help but roll around on the opcean floor and get sandy. There is always sand stirred up where you play in the water there too.
This is Sandy Beach.

There is also a hang gliding strip next to Sandy Beach and you can see the guys coming down from up on the mountain. I only got a picture of the sign :)

After walking around and taking pistures we didn't get too sandy so we went to dinner at Dave and Buster's in Honolulu. We liked it a lot. I got a drink there called Candy Shop and it is one of my new favorite drinks! Anyway, we went upstairs and played some games after dinner. We really loved the interactive horse racing game. I really don't know the best way to explain, but you roll some pool ball sized balls into holes and there are certain levels ( walk, trot, run) and whoever gets to the finish line first wins! We played several times then came home! I talked to Jeremy on the way and he was about the same! Ready to come home.

Friday September 14th

Mom got here today, this is the picture of her coming through the doors to meet us at the baggage claim.

Before we went to the airport, we went to the Nave Exchange and had supper. We also shopped around there. They have everything from Bath and Body Works to Victoria's Secret Stuff to Tommy Bahama. Also theres tons of restaurants there. These picture are the sunset from the parking lot.

On Saturday, September 15th
We went to Waimea Valley. You may remember that we went there last week. This time we brought mom! Gma and Aunt Rach were wanting to go there again before they left and Saturday was the best day for it. The walk there seemed to take forever but the walk back took no time! Here are some pics from our time at Waimea Valley
On the way in :)

On Sunday, September 16th
We got up and went to The Buddhist Temple to look around. Its a major tourist attraction in Hawaii.

After the temple we went to Sealife Park. It was a lot of fun. They had a luau that started at 5 and everyone loved it. We saw shows and they served dinner. When we got there, they gave us free all you can drink Mai Tais. Then we had programs until 9:00 last night. We tried all kinds of local foods there and then mom drove home (I think they thought I had too much too drink but I really had not) Here are some pics!
