Hawaii 2010 Day 3 ~ The Swap Meet and the Bar

One of the neatest things to do in Hawaii is go to the swap meet at the Aloha Stadium. It is HUGE! We went didn't have anything specific we were looking for, except maybe cheap t-shirts. A lot of places you can buy 8 t-shirts for $20! It is a great way to get gifts for people back home! Last year we were able to find an awesome handmade photo album that said Hawaii 2009 and we wanted a new one for this year. We looked ALL over and we could not find one that said 2010 anywhere!

We walked around as much as I could but it was so hot and my ankle was huge and painful! Finally we found some acceptable t-shirts and Geneva found a swimsuit and we called it a day. Last year after we went to the swap meet, we had lunch at Anna Millers, so we decided to make it a tradition! Woo hoo, we have Hawaii Vacation traditions!!!

After lunch we took Gwen back to her house so she could get Ralf from the airport. He had been in California visiting his sick Grandfather. We headed back to the hotel to rest. The plan for the night was to go out drinking after Ralf's band practice, so Chad and I needed rest. While we were at the hotel, Chad noticed there were a couple of sea turtles in the water in Waikiki. They were swimming right along with everybody but nobody noticed them! It was wild. We tried to get a few pictures, I think they turned out pretty good!

After a while we went back to Geneva's house while Ralf went to band practice. We had Jack in the Box for dinner. If you have ever had Hardee's you have had Jack in the Box, but it was OK. When Ralf got home, we headed to Waikiki and went out on the town. We hit some bar that Ralf knew, I don't remember the name of it! We had a few drinks and then headed back to get some sleep. We got back to the hotel sometime around 2am. That is 7am Hawaii time, we were exhausted!!!

Tomorrow, Ko Olina...GORGEOUS!!!
