We spent our last full day in Hawaii on the beach. We started off at Lanikai Beach which was beautiful. The sand is somehow whiter and softer, the water is bluer, and the view was amazing.
There is supposed to be great snorkeling and sunsets at this beach, but it was very windy while we were there so we only stayed for about an hour.
Al 5 and 6
The three of us
Since it was windy and the sun was hiding behind clouds we decided to drive to our favorite, Sandy Beach. On our way we stopped at Makapuu Lookout which is the eastern most point of Oahu.
We spotted a cove with good waves for the boys to play in and ended up going there instead.
I got Alex to take a nap which was great for both of us.
This is when Al lost his wedding ring in the ocean :(
This beach was warm and sunny, but we had to lay with our backs against the ocean so we could get direct sunlight. At 2:30pm the sun went behind the mountains and then Al's mom saw the van being towed, so that was our cue to go.
On our way back to Waikiki we stopped by Dakine Bailbonds to see if Dog the Bounty Hunter was working. 
We bought some famous malasadas from Leonards Bakery. Malasadas are deep fried donuts with cream fillings. Someone told us they are Portugese so I'm not sure why they are so famous in Hawaii, but there is a line wrapped around Leonard's every morning for them.
They don't have the rule No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service, oh Trevor.
We took Alex to play in the sand one last time at overcrowded Waikiki Beach.
This video is my favorite.
He was so happy that he got to play in the sand.
That night we took one last stroll by the shops in Waikiki. There are so many street performers and usually I'm not swayed by the guys painted silver and gold, but Lani the friendly Guinea Pig caught my eye. When was the last time you saw a Guinea Pig in a Hula Skirt, with a hat, standing on a surf board...lol
Al tried to tell me it wasn't worth the $1,but I think it was worth $10. I got to feed him and put his hat and skirt on. It's not everyday you see a surfing guinea pig. Afterwards I used hand sanitizer :)
