Laie

We spent all day in the beautiful city of Laie. We were blessed to able to attend a session at temple. Lynn's aunt was even working that morning, so we were able to see her there.

We had to try out one of the many fresh shrimp stands along the beach. Garlic shrimp is the specialty, so that is what Lynn ordered. Me, I got chicken. I think we should have only ordered one plate though. So. Much. Food.

We hadn't really explored the west side of the island, so we drove to the northwest edge where you couldn't drive anymore. Our rental car documents said it was a no-no to go past this point, so we just got out and looked around.  There is definitely a different look and feel to this side of the island.

 

On our way back home we had to stop at the famous Matsumoto Shaved Ice store. Mmmmm.... Yummy. Ice cream and shaved ice may be one of the best combos ever. We passed on the beans.

 

 

We ended the day wading in the ocean and watching the sunset at some beach we hadn't been to yet. I don't remember its name. But it was super quiet. So lovely. I had to, of course, take a cheesy writing in the sand photo. Well let me tell you, it was no easy feet. I wrote that 'Hawaii 2012' about 10 different times before I hurried and got a picture taken as the waves washed it away. I suppose I could have just written it a little higher on the beach...... oh well.
