HAWAII
Day 4 / A Helicopter Ride and a Luau

 

Ahhhhh, day four!  The day we finally discovered breakfast.  Orange French Toast and to die for Potatoes from the Macaroni Grille.  It was so good, that we went back again for the same thing before our trip ended.

 

 

After our amaze fest breakfast, we ventured off to Blue Hawaiian for a Helicopter Tour where we saw goats along the way.  Creag, being the dare devil that he is, pulled over & hopped out of the car & got as close to them as possible to snap a picture.  I was honestly a little scared for his life because there is no way I would ever even try to get close to wild goats.  That's scary stuff right there!  Luckily, he wasn't attacked and we can still talk about it and we have a great picture to show.

 

 

After we got our fill of the goats, we made it to the place where we took the Helicopter Tour.  This was very highly recommended to us by everyone that had been to Hawaii and not taken the tour so we were pretty pumped.  It was supposed to be the Best Tour according to Travel Channel.  It was 2 hrs long and we went over the volcanoes & the valleys, rain forests & out over the ocean.  It was a great experience & we saw some awesome things but the second half made me SICK!  I didn't throw up, but I was close.  I have a lot more pictures, but they aren't edited yet, so I'll come back to add them later.

 

 

After the tour we headed back to The Bay Club for a swim where Creag had to test out the kiddie slide.

 

We went to a Luau later that night @ the Hilton.  The food was great and so was the entertainment.  I wish we would've gotten a full length picture of us all fancied up, but I didn't:(  Dinner consisted of Pulled Pork, Spare Ribs, Chicken, some kind of fish, and a lot of different sides.  Drinks were included, but the mixed drinks had no alcohol in them what so ever so we stuck with Kona Beer.  I almost killed my husband by feeding him coconut, but he survived so I was MAJORLY RELIEVED!  The Hilton was beautiful, we talked about staying there IF we ever go back.  The kids would love their pool and they have so many restaurants and shopping on site.



 

 

 

 

 

Day 4 was the point that we realized we were half way through our vacation and time was running out!  I have just a few more, amazing days to share.  I'll be back on Monday for Day 5 & 6!
