n decided to take a mid-morning nap.
We ate lunch at the restaurant on the beach and went home so everyone could take a nap. Then we drove to the nearby Mauna Kea hotel to check out the grounds. This was the hotel hardest hit by the earthquake a few years back, and it underwent a lot of remodeling. It kept its 70's vibe, though.
Beautiful beach.
k was spoiled by being pushed in the stroller a lot that week. However, she agreed to walk down the stairs.
Me + n
For dinner we ate at Monstera at the Shops at Mauna Lani. It is a new Japanese restaurant featuring mainly sushi and noodles. We all enjoyed our dishes, but I was really impressed that they offered to make baby food for n! I told the waitress about his wheat allergy, so she consulted the kitchen, and they whipped up some carrot-sweet potato puree with a little bit of butter, along with some rice. Although he didn't eat too much of it (he was being really picky that entire week), I really appreciated the effort.
We retired to our condos and D and I watched the Olympics. And then we heard about the tsunami warning. And then, well, you've already heard that story!
