Hawaii 2010 Day 5 ~ North Shore and the Shrimp Truck

The waves at North Shore!

Tuesday morning, we decided to take a look around the hotel. It was so pretty! There was a water display through the whole thing with sharks and sting rays and all sorts of amazing fish! We tried to find some breakfast and ended up with an OK muffin and a drink. 
Shrimp Truck
After we left the hotel, we were going to try and find parking to go the lagoons, but there was a wait at every one of them. Instead, we decided to head into North Shore for some yummy shrimp (from a truck!) It was delicious, but I think the onion rings were even better! We were going to go to Geneva's favorite chocolate place, The Chocolate Gecko, but it wasn't open that day. We walked around North Shore for a while trying to find me some new shoes. For some reason, mine decided to rub a blister on my foot. OUCH!
We did stop at a beach and find some turtles also. There were lots of them just swimming around, but we had a hard time getting a good picture of one. They were HUGE though! We also saw some interesting tourists having some fun in the water...it was quite the site!


After a while we decided to head back to Gwen's house and relax. On our way home, we stopped at NEX to get some food to grill. It was a nice night relaxing at their house! After a while, the guys decided to go fishing. They ran and got some bait and headed to Ralf's favorite spot. When they got there, they found the Candian Marines were camping there! Did I mention it was the week of RIMPAC? There were soldiers from all over everywhere on the Island. It was pretty neat to see! Anyway, there were Candian Marines camped in Ralf's spot, so they went somewhere else. Geneva and I decided to head back to the hotel, get some cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory (Red Velvet and Chocolate Chip YUMMY!) and hang out at the hotel. Long story short, Ralf and Chad neither one had a cell phone on them, it was past 1:00am when they finally called and a crab ate their bait!

It was all in all a great day!
