Hawaii Adventures - Hike, Pearl Harbor and Waikiki

Even though we decided not to stay there, we did hit up Waikiki one day to see what it had in store for us.  First, however, we needed to get a hike in to explore the jungles where LOST and Jurassic Park were partially filmed.  Awesome.  

There were definitely a few Jurassic Park like creatures along the way.  This guy is about the length of my foot.

Luckily, he was dead.  The end of this hike was a beautiful waterfall.  There were three spots to jump off of... one easy and two pretty darn hard to get to.  I went for the harder one... it was only a 30 foot jump dad!  And everyone else was doing it!  :)

LOST in the jungle, pun intended.

After the hike we headed to Pearl Harbor for a quick tour around.  It was pretty sweet.  Here are a few photos from that.  Respect to the grandpas, given!

"I expect and demand your very best. Anything less, you should have joined the Air Force. "  or maybe I said...  " Short of the outbreak of World War Three, the ship sinking... being attacked by a giant octopus, I'd like to be undisturbed for the next thirty minutes. "


Or just take your favorite Captain Ramsey quote from Crimson Tide and insert above :)

Sky Rockets in Flight----- Afternoon Delight!  Speaking of delight, after pearl harbor we headed to Waikiki beach area to check it out.  Yep, it pretty much was Chicago put in Hawaii... but that means some sweet restaurants.  We grabbed some sushi and it was AMAZING.

The Sheraton had some pretty cool views like this one that is one of those infinity pools.

And don't forget the sweet advertisements for people who can't go on vacation without shooting their guns!  (Logan we're marketing at you here...)

Well that about wraps up our adventure this day in Hawaii.  Next up?  A few pictures from the Ultimate Frisbee tournament we went to on our honeymoon :)
