A strange, full day

Yesterday contained a number of events which were simply out of the ordinary. At 8am we attended a wedding on the north shore. At Waimea Bay, to be exact. The couple was married on the beach, just a few yards from the water. Some liquid sunshine joined the party, just enough to add a rainbow to the wedding photos. So nice!

After breakfast at Cholo's (OJ instead of a mojito, drat!) we headed home and geared up for a day downtown. We were off to the theater for an afternoon matinee of "Eddie Would Go and "Rell Sunn, Queen of Makaha", two plays regarding Hawaiian surfing superstars who are no longer alive. Well performed, and attended. The boy enjoyed the experience, even if he did not fully understand everything. He sat as still as was possible and was quiet. A perfect boy, as usual.

After the play we headed down to the Aloha Tower Marketplace where we wandered around a bit until the Uncles joined us. Wendall bought me an ukulele for my birthday. It is beautiful, and now I will feel obligated to learn to play, not a bad thing at all. After dinner we went our separate ways, as it was time for the last official Guy's Night Out. I will go down to Waikiki in an hour or so to hear the tales of drunken revelry.

A good beginning to a long goodbye.
