Mini golf and goodbye

On our last day in Hawaii, we said our goodbyes to the marvelous house we stayed in... Here are our little surfer dudes on the lanai.

We took a last look at Hanalei Bay.

We also did a little shopping. Jordan picked out an extremely colorful shirt for himself; I don't have a picture of him in it but it is the same fabric as these dressing-room curtains. He loves bright colors and shrieked with delight when he saw himself in the mirror.

And, last but decidedly not least, we played a round of miniature golf! This golf course is also a gorgeous botanical garden, with interpretive signs all along explaining the cultural history of Hawaii. It's very well done.

Two more photos that don't have major narratives to accompany them: The boys in front of the Kilauea Fish Market, which tied with the Hanalei Dolphin for my favorite restaurant.

And the photo they took of us at the Smith Family Luau, another quite fun experience, touristy as all heck but a great time. Delicious food and wonderful entertainment, a whole cultural history of the islands through dance. And yes, many of the ladies were actually wearing those silly coconut bras.
