Christmas Morning Came Late

We are back. We arrived very early this morning and slept in. Then we opened up presents from Mormor and Morfar, and Grandma and Grandpa, and Mommy and Daddy.

Thank you for all the wonderful gifts!! So well thought out by everyone :)

Last Full Day

We woke up this morning to this view, and then headed directly out to the pools to enjoy our last full day.

We walked over to Disney Aulani resort and checked out their amenities. It was a zoo there, but there were some very cool water activities and pools. 

We sat at the beach and had a very relaxing day. 

Mads got a soccer ball tattoo that he wouldn't let me photograph. I had to sneak this one.

Tomorrow you will be able to cease your jealousy of our trip and endless beach photos :) Thanks for following our trip.

Marriott Beach Club in Ko Olina

We took a long taxi ride over to Ko Olina North of Honolulu to a beach resort area. Unfortunately the cab dropped us off at the wrong Marriott before we could say anything. There was a shuttle bus that picked us up and took us to the right resort. It circles around the three resorts. Otherwise it is pretty isolated here.

We spent all day at the pools and a bit at the beach while we waited to get into our room.

The infamous Disney Aulani resort is just above Bobs' head here.  We can check it out tomorrow.

We let the boys loose on the resort while we got our room settled at check in. Can you spot them?

Last Day at the Hilton

Come on a walk with us

Toward the Waikiki side of the hotel, there is a public park and playground. It was full of local families BBQ'ing today. 

Next door to our hotel is a military hotel. 

The walks along the hotels on the beach side vary from sand to sea wall walks. 

To encourage the boys to walk longer, we promised ice cream. The problem was, we didn't know where to find an ice cream place. We eventually found a gelato place.

We then walked back toward the hotel and stopped by a small military museum next to the military hotel. 

We had sushi for dinner, which I would imagine was authentic since so there are so many Japanese tourists here.
