Boat Ride to A Sand Bar after a 3 a.m. Attempt at Heaven

Now wouldn't it be awesome if there was actually a real bar out on the Sand bar???  That would be so sick!!  Jordan rented a boat so that 10 of us could enjoy a 4 hour trip out in Kaneohe Bay to the sand bar.  Its awesome looking at the sand bar when you are driving on the highways up above, but even better when you are out there playing football in the middle of the ocean.  Super crazy how the currents make it just right to keep all this sand in one place, where during low tide it gets so shallow that you can lay out on the sand!  It was so great that my sister and Nate were able to come.  I like spending time with them, it will be sad when I can't just whenever I want anymore.  Titus and Gizmo came and gave quite the show in the water.  It was such a fun relaxing day!  Jordan even let me drive on the way home, that was awesome :)  My favorite part was when we stopped after the water got deep and super dark blue and jumped in.  The water was so clear and refreshing.

At 2:40 a.m.  I woke up Keysa and Mary so we could go meet up with Chuck and Jordan to do the stairway to heaven hike.  We got there at about 3:50 and the security guard was already there. He turned us away, and denied our entrance to Heaven. So frustrating.  We turned around and followed the old road under H3 all the way to the H3 tunnels.  Then we decided since it was only 4:30 that we should still get to see the sun come up. We drove to the Lanikai Pillboxes and hiked the whole thing after watching a sunrise that was very cloudy.  It was still awesome though because the 5 of us were just sitting on one of the bunkers talking and laughing.  I decided I was going to name my first child Leviticus after the book in the bible, and we met a kid who had slept there all night who was quite hilarious also.  Even though it was windy and cold, it was an awesome beautiful morning.  Followed by a nice hike to the end where I got to spend more time with my sister.

We were home by 8:30 in the morning, and had already been up for 6 hours, and still had 4 more hours til the boat.  I watched some Bones while Jordan went to crossFit and did a double crazy 21-15-9 workout.  I crashed at exactly 8 p.m. and almost slept through the night.  Oh! but that was after the most AMAZING dinner hand crafted by Keysa and I.  Salad with lots of greens, orange cherry tomatoes, and strawberries, okinawa sweet potatoes with coconut milk, and lemon, garlic, ginger salmon.  Holy bajoolie yum!
