Waikiki Weekend

It's been over a month ago now since our Waikiki Weekend, but it was too much fun to not post about...so here it is.

The week i got home from NC, Hillary and Carrie and I planned a tourist weekend in Waikiki. That weekend we stayed in a super nice hotel--the Sheraton Moana Surfrider. It is right in the heart of Waikiki--the beach on one side and the busy strip on the other. We shared a room, and even a double bed--because that was the only room they had left. Just like college sleepovers all over again! We ate a wonderful meal at the Cheesecake Factory and enjoyed the market and entertainment on the streets.

Waikiki by Night
The next morning we went straight to the beach for some sun and it was SUPER HOT and voggy. After a few hours, we decided to try something that is the very epitome of a 'tourist'--the Trolley! and we loved it! we rode around Waikiki and ended up at the mall where we had to get off. Since we were there, i took Carrie and Hillary to get Bare Minerals makeovers (if you do not already know this about me, i am a firm believer in their makeup!). We had a great time, ate dinner at Red Lobster and then went back to our homes that night--sad the weekend had to end, we had a great time. It is so cool to be so near all of the fun that we can just spontaneously decide to have a mini vacation for a weekend in a place where some people never get to come to their whole lives. We are so LUCKY!
