Hawaii Day 5

Monday morning a few of us went to Pearl Harbor.  I was not impressed with the people that work there.  Right when we walked up I was told I couldn't take my purse in and that I needed to check it.  Well it's not that easy when you have a ton of baby stuff in your bag, but they don't care.  They charge $3 to check your bag and they give you a plastic grocery bag?  The guy checking bags said it's that or leave it in your car where it will most likely get stolen.  Who says that?
The second thing that's lame about Pearl Harbor is almost everything costs money and is very expensive except the USS Arizona Memorial which we had to wait 1.5 hours to see.  
While we waited for our tour Alex decided to have a meltdown so I carried him out to the car screaming.  That's what a week of short naps and late bed times will do, so I ended up feeding him and let him sleep for an hour before our group left.
It was really cool to stand on the Memorial and look into the water.  


After Pearl Harbor Al went swimming and running with his dad and met Alex and I at Waikiki Beach afterwards.
We let Alex play in the sand which he loved.
This time he didn't put his hands in his mouth or eyes. I love his chunky legs.
How great is this pose on the beach....ha I was dying.
Al took him in the water.  Alex would flap his hands and splash the water. He looked so confused when it would splash on his face...lol
That night we went to dinner at Uncle Bo's which came highly recommended by some friends.  
Guess what I had?  Ahi Tuna
My dinner was huge and delicious.  Loved Uncle Bo's
