Last weekend's mini vacation

Isaac and I went on a tour of a Oahu last weekend as a little vacation to get away from Base. On Friday, we stayed at the Hale Koa, a military-only hotel. The hotel overlooks Waikiki Beach... more or less... depending on how much you pay for the room. More pics on that later. :)
On Sat., we drove around the south and east side of the island, stopping at the Bellows Air Force Station Beach for a short while to build a sand castle. Later, we continued driving up the east coast and around to the north. That night, we stayed at a nice little B&B (with no actual second B... but, you had the kitchen free to cook dinner in at night) located across from Sunset Beach. There were definitely some large waves there! We spent Sat. evening and Sunday morning watching the surfing pros and before heading back to Honolulu. It was a fun weekend over all and I think it was hard for Isaac to go back to work the following Monday. Who wouldn't rather be on the beach?
Here's a map of Oahu: (you have to zoom out a few click to see the whole island)


And here is a short slideshow of the trip:
