Oahu

So i am a day behind again sorry i am horrible at this thing oh well!

so yesterday we flew from beautiful Kauai to Oahu. Oahu is mostly this huge city and very touristy blah. but we soon found out that some of the island is very beautiful too!

we rented a car and decided to drive to the north shore! dad and i really wanted to see pipeline because the triple crown is going on right now and there was a huge swell that just came in! so off we drove

45 minutes later we were on the opposite side of the island on the way to pipeline we stopped at shark cove! (really we stopped cuz there was a bathroom and from there found out that it was a big cove pretty cool!)
Then we kept driving down the coast and came along this part of the beach between houses that there were lots of people watching the water so we decided lets get out and check out what's going on! we did and found out we were at pipeline!

the waves were huge!!!!! so dad took some pictures of the guys surfing here are a few!








Then we continued on down the coast to find somewhere to eat! on the way we saw a light house so we decided to stop at this little pier thing and take some pictures!

on the pier was this big garage shed thing we had no idea what it was for until this guy drove up and opened it!
come to find out that it had these real submarines in it! they are used for the university of Hawaii and the ocean institute there!! it was amazing! the guy that opened the door talked to us for a while about all the things they have been doing they were on discovery channel and everything it was soooooo... cool!





This is my mom and i and terry( the guy that runs them!!)


So then we went to the turtle bay hotel to eat lunch! this is one of my moms little Burger things look you can see the legs of the crab!
So then we drove a little more just looking around and taking pictures!!
then we drove back to the hotel to go get some dinner and do some shopping! we walked to the alamoana shopping center which was just down the street for dinner! we went to barns and noble and look what i bought!

It the bible in pidgin! so cool!!!
then we walked to the hard rock cafe for dessert! it was only another few blocks away!
then as we were walking back to our hotel we got a little lost it was kind of crazy but pretty fun!!!! what an exciting day!!
