Day Eight- Last Day, Do All the Things

4/7/2019

By the last day, I was tired of breakfast in the room, so we made a quick reservation at 'Ama 'Ama for breakfast. This is now a must do for me when we go back. The breakfast was so good and the view was just as amazing at breakfast. Plus, the kids were with us!

Beautiful girl, beautiful scenery.

French press of Kona coffee. We should eat here every morning when we win the lottery.

That boy was made for a Hawaiian shirt.

Pancakes with vanilla macadamia sauce. Delicious.

Rob got the breakfast sandwich, which was a Lobster BLT with an egg. So good.

Bellies full, we headed to the beach for another morning of sand and sun, and to achieve one of Rob's goals, stand up paddle boarding. You can rent a SUP right at the Aulani beach. The swimming lagoon is a great place for first time SUPers because the water is calm and it would be pretty hard to be washed out to sea.

Safety briefing.

Setting out.

They were born for this!

Ryan loved getting to see the fish up close.

If you've been reading along, I'll bet you know what comes next! Lunch at the quick service place. Then it was time to hit up the splash park. Can you believe we saved this til the last day? There is too much good stuff at this resort.

Actually, there are two splash parks at Aulani. There is one with gentle bubblers for the youngest guests. Then there is Menehune Bridge for kids less than 48 inches tall.

Snacking in the shade.

My attempt at food photography. This brownie was good, not great.

Final Shave Ice. Anne had it topped with sweetened condensed milk, which wasn't a favorite.

When we were exhausted from swimming, I made everyone get all dressed up for a beach photoshoot. I mean, how often are you in Hawaii with your family? I wanted good pictures where we weren't wearing swimsuits.
