Just got back from a family dinner with our hosts, the Comerfords, and our total of 5 kids.  It is so nice to spend time together.  We just hit another local spot, called the Big City Diner.  I finally broke down and had the Loco Moco,  hamburger covered with an egg, served over a bed of fried rice.  It did not have the heart healthy little heart inscribed next to the dish on the menu.

We were able to sleep in a bit this morning before going to hike Makapu u Point.  Such beautiful views of the Windward shore of Oahu, and the blue waters spanning every shade of blue.  Preston hitched another free ride on the shoulders of Dylan on the ascent, and Uncle Pletch on the descent.

It was a good time for all the kids to be together, and we enjoyed lunch at Teddy's (Bigger Burgers), then Bubbys for mochi ice cream.  Mochi has become a favorite, it is a Japanese rice dough, that the ice cream is surrounded in.  So, the kids say we were at lunch at Titties and Boobies.  Their quote, not mine.  Teenage thing, you know.

The kids went to see Star Trek movie and I got a chance to chill out at the Comerford compound with Jed, reminiscing about old times, specifically when we were heroes in the Navy.

Night was capped off at the Big City Diner.


Anxiously awaiting the big South swell which should hit tomorrow.  I am wondering if it will actually be too big/  Either way, we are up and out at 5 to surf the West shore.  Jed has us all outfitted with big guns for the event.  Dylan and Mason are joining us as well.
