January 7, 2018 - Oahu - Waikiki

After several very long, jam-packed days, we decided that it would be good to have a day to just relax and enjoy the beach. Since we were staying in Waikiki it was easiest to just cross the street and plant ourselves in the sand there. The water was still more cold than the boys preferred so they were reluctant to jump right in. Papa Tutu told they he'd give them $100 if they caught a fish. While neither one of them could do it, it sure kept them busy in the water for about an hour. We walked through a little shopping center and went to the movies that afternoon. We ended up eating dinner at local burger joint right on the main drag on Waikiki next to our hotel. It was a perfect way to relax and enjoy our last full day in Hawaii.

It rained in the morning so by the time we got out there was a faint rainbow still showing.

Girl Tutu, Rick, Natalee and I just relaxed on the beach while Toby went out surfing.

It was a bit overcast so the temperature felt nice but I always prefer fully sunny sky when I'm at the beach. 

Lincoln buried Logan in the sand. That kept them entertained for while. 

I found this store when I was in Oahu previously and they had moved their location. I wasn't planning to go there but since it was in the same shopping center that we ate lunch in it worked out nicely for me to take a quick detour through the store.
