Sarah & Gooch, 2017 Visitor Post # 2

Our second visitors of this year were Sarah & Gooch, 

who stole away from blustery Minnesota to the warm breezes of Oahu.

Brace yourself for lots of sister pictures. It's what we do!

First visit to the North Shore

Sarah's first time (in a while) getting those feet in the Pacific

coral

Picnic lunch & whale spotting

As all my visitors know, 

every trip to the North Shore includes my favorite Hawaiian Coffee Farm

Enjoyed some amazing sunsets

We took Sarah & Gooch on a church hiking trip. 

Of course they are very used to hanging with the church family!

Aiea Loop

Look at that happy couple

Sadie got to come too!

Ken was the Leader. Like a mother duckling with his ducklings :)

Sarah, hard at work

Awesome views

Sarah & I stealing a little beach time at Hickam's Dog Beach. 

By the way, no dogs allowed. ?

Taking a Whale watching cruise.

Whale sighting guaranteed 

NO WHALES!

We had fun anyway

Some nice views of Honolulu

We drown our whale less sorrows in a pile of whip cream at Eggs & Things

Don't judge!!!

Waikiki Beach

Banyan Tree

We drove down the coast to catch a few overlooks

Hanole Blow Hole

Bellows Military Beach

Hiking up to the Albatross reserve (7 mile round trip)

Monk seal spotting!

And of course, monk seal selfies (he's back there)

There he is

You wouldn't know these guys are pretty aggressive

Albatross

Another sleepy monk seal

Rain was on the way and with 3 1/2 miles ahead of us- well, we got wet

It's mezmerizing

The trek back

Of course a trip to "Lost" Beach to see the turtles

Can't miss a turtle selfie

Enjoying my favorite restaurant, La Mariana's

Another snorkeling adventure at Paradise Cove

More sister selfies

Worked up an appitite; eating at Five Guys

Cave Day!

No one brave enough to climb down there!

So cute!
