DAY 7
Let's go parasailing! Here we are in the boat getting ready to go!
I find this worker's shirt endlessly funny...
"In Most States Getting This High Is A Felony."
Clipped in and ready to go!
I don't remember being scared, but my face looks a little skeptical in this picture! LOL
Up, up, and away!
500 feet above the Pacific Ocean!
KG and Tarynn enjoying the ride and views of Honolulu
Bird's eye view from the sky! With Diamond Head in the background!!
Flying high
View of Waikiki
The water in this photo looks so close, but I promise it's not!!
After our adventure over the ocean, we decided to stick with the water theme, and hang out on Waikiki Beach for the afternoon.
Relaxing, swimming, and searching for some shade!
On the way back to the hotel, we stopped by with a photo opportunity with Duke Kahanamoku. He's a Waikiki surfing legend and Olympic swimmer. Folks drape leis over the statue each day to honor him.
I didn't know this at the time, but there is a webcam watching the statue at all times, allowing visitors from around the world to wave to their friends. Check it out here!
For a fancy dinner, we made reservations at the Oceanarium,
which features a scrumptious buffet and a 3-story aquarium in the dining room.
The food was quite a spread. (We fasted all afternoon to make sure we were extra hungry!)
I enjoyed the tempura, pasta bar, and prime rib.
Tarynn's favorite was the dessert bar, with over 20 choices, including her first chocolate fountain!
While eating a diver comes out to do a quick show with the sting ray and the over 400 fish!
Then comes the mermaid!!
Hence, why we needed reservations... People go crazy for this mermaid show.
It was pretty awesome.
It never occurred to me how she might breath underwater, but every 30 seconds or so, she would swim to the side out of view and take a hit from the oxygen tank!
After dinner we went bowling with Tarynn's friends.
I didn't take any photos, because um... most KG fans have seen me bowl before!!
