"Don't Hate Me 'Cause You Ain't Me!"


That's the bumper sticker we saw on our way into dinner tonight. I think that sums up our trip -- having lots of fun, but missing our friends (well, the ones who didn't swing the trip this time).

This morning, the boys and I revisited the cool park we found last week. After that, it was time for a snack -- ice cream cones! I've never seen a child enjoy a cone as much as D did.

This afternoon, we explored Ali'i Drive, which is the main drag in Kailua-Kona. We wandered past all the historic sites (none of which we went into, since the kids were, well, being kids), shopped in a few tourist traps, and spent a few bucks at the Fun Factory. (Think Chuck E Cheese with a tourist trap spin -- every game was at least 50 cents, and the good ones were a dollar.)

For dinner, we chose LuLu's, which is basically a bar that's upstairs on Ali'i. Decent drinks and awesome appetizers, with a great view, except for a few power lines.

Sunset tonight took place during a downpour, so I just grabbed a quick shot from the porch. Since it wasn't anything great, I'll share a shot my father-in-law took on a beach in Kaua'i (another Hawai'ian island).
