More photo highlights from Lori's visit


I didn't mean to give the impression in the last post that there was no lying on the beach during Lori's visit. Here we are at Bellows Beach on the east side of Oahu, one of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the island. It is a beach that is only open to military folks and their guests. It's one of the little perks the military gives you in exchange for risking life, limb, and family happiness in preemptive wars of choice.
We spent a considerable amount of time on the North Shore shopping and dining and enjoying the beaches. This beach is Haleiwa Alii Beach Park where we sat and watched the surfers wiping out.
This is my back yard and you can't quite see the tiny beach in the photo but it's there. We parked ourselves here on Lori's second to last night and watched the sunset. The mountains in the background are the Waianae Mountains which run up the entire west side of the island.
The actual sunset that evening wasn't as dramatic as the aftermath.
