Waikiki Beach

Waikiki Beach...

need I say more. 

We headed downtown to go to Waikiki Beach and the walk to the beach was beautiful.  We stopped along the way and took our pictures.  Then continued on....

We are almost to our destination..... the excitement is building!

Finally Waikiki Beach. 

We walked out onto the beach area.

Then we walked out onto the rock wall that extends from the beach area... beautiful.

We continued walking on the beach.... 

One thing we noticed is that there are no shell pieces in the sand.... the sand was very soft. 

I thought this was a neat.. a beached catamaran waiting for it's next load of passengers. 

Aloha from Hawaii

ALOHA from Hawaii!!

Today we went to Bellows AFB on the North side of the island to go to the beach. 

 It was an absolutely beautiful drive.

Here are a couple of pictures from our time on the beach. 

Enjoy!!

Mike and the kids digging in the sand....

and the water washing away there holes...

Not to mention that that water is cold.

Hawaiian Trees

Checkout some of the trees that grow over here. The one outside my room is something of a magnolia tree I think. It's the first few pics. The last two I'm not too sure about, but it sure is big.

This one had some crazy pods growing from it that I'm not too sure about either.  It was cool looking though.

Hawaii Rainbow

I got the chance to wake up to this earlier this week.  It's the first one I've ever seen that ended next to some buildings.  Enjoy.

Also, this is the view I get to wake up to each morning.  Don't be too jealous, I have to climb the stairs to get here about three or four times a day (100 steps).

Hibiscus

Just thought I post a few pictures of the National Flower of Hawaii since I'm here.

The first is actually of a Hibiscus at my Mom's house in Texas.  The others are from around the Tripler Hospital where I'm stationed now.

I've also seen a few cool looking birds around here too.  The first time I saw these I thought they were Woodpeckers.  It kind of looks like it was "date night" for these two couples.

Good Friends, Good Food, Good Times!! Part 2

Here we all are floatin' down the river.  We had such a good time, laughing and visiting.  (There were 12 of us all together...)  Good Times, with Great Friends!!

Big Girl....

Cheyenne and I went to a Bunco party this past Tuesday night.  The lady that hosted the party had these cute napkins and I couldn't help bringing mine home.   

Just thought I'd share a giggle....  Deb
