Family Day

 We headed to Bellows Beach today for the Battalion's Family Day. Even though it was cloudy and sprinkling pretty much the whole time we were there, it still was such a beautiful beach. We will definitely be heading back here on a sunnier day to enjoy it.

So many fun things to do for the kids. Too bad I don't have any :(

Raffle drawings were going on the whole time for some really cool stuff. I thought for sure we would walk away with something..I was wrong.

 Overall... good day

7 Questions

I haven't linked up with Gentri Lee in awhile so I thought it was about time.

Funny Picture

 Giving my hubby some love.

 

1. Hamburger or Hotdog? (veggie versions count)

-Hamburgers! I do love a dog every now and then...especially at a sporting event

 

 2. If you had to live on any other planet in our solar system, besides Earth, which would you choose?

- Mercury...probably get a really nice tan there!

 

 3. Share a photo of an outfit that represents your personal style, please. (doesn't have to be of you)

 4. Would you rather get ready for the day or get ready for bed?

-Bed...washing off all of my makeup just feels so good

 

 5. You have to choose between never having eyelashes or never having eyebrows, which would you choose?

-I love this question! I'm gonna stick with my lashes. I know I will look like a total crazy pants with no brows but lashes enhance the eyes so much I woulnt want to give them up. 

 

 6. What do you want to be when you grow up?

A mommy....I have also been thinking of changing my career lately, haven't really decided on it yet tho.  

 

7. Do you set your clocks right on time, or a few minutes ahead or behind? 

I used to set them fast always but now that every clock does it for you I kinda have no option

Sunday Fun Day

  Mike and I headed to the Marina today for little kayak trip. Coconut Island was our destination. (It was used as the opening intro to the show Gilligan's Island.) It is a private island that is used for Marine Biology research so we weren't allowed to explore it but the beach was sure nice.

The island from a distance.

Moku O Lo'e is the real name of the island but I cant pronounce it so I call it it's nickname instead.

 Heading back to base.

Day Drive

I took a quick little drive today around the southern part of the island after running a few errands.  First stop was the well known blow hole lookout. It wasn't that crowded so I had enough patience to stand there awhile and wait for the sprays.

 After that another quick stop at the Makapi'u Lookout. Getting out of my car and seeing stacked
rocks all over the place was interesting. After looking up a little info about these rocks, I found that Hawaiians build these to show respect to the gods, it also says that other people build them for spiritual reasons. Come to find out that in some places it is illegal to do this because they are making the scientific study harder for researchers.

Mu-Ryang-Sa Buddhist Temple

 Korean Buddhist Temple is a hidden gem right in Honolulu. Not many tourists know about this spot so when I went it was deserted, (except for the landscapers) I walked around and took it all in.

Such a amazing place! My camera does not even come close to capturing all of the colors that made this place so beautiful.

Big Island

  Mike had to take a little trip to the Big Island this weekend for work. I'm so jealous I wish I could have went with. I sent him with instructions to take tons of pictures....but you know how that goes. He drove around pretty much the whole island he said, but managed to only get one side of it and not the lush prettier side. We will just have to take a trip so I can see it for myself.

Two First's

Before

One of my projects. Looks better stained...hu

  Today I finally finished the front porch. Its the first space in my home that I am 100% done with. The other rooms are coming along but I am missing a few finishing touches.  So what do you think?

After

 I'm glad I have this checked off of my list. I was sick of looking at how boring it use to be.

 Mike and I went for a little bike ride today also. Growing up in the 80s/early 90s (I don't know about anyone else) we never wore helmets. It was just not something that any of my friends had on nor did anyone's parents care about really. Living on base it is a rule to wear one so we went and purchased our first helmets (at the age of 27) so our bikes would not go to waste.

We had a over all good day today.

Ps. Who already ordered there Halloween Costume???  I did!
