Honolulu

Whim spent last week enjoying the sandy beaches and azure blue waters of Honolulu, Hawaii. Highlights from our trip include singing on the Channel 2 morning news, singing for the mayor of Hawaii and the state library, and singing for a retirement home nestled in the misty mountains of the East side of the island.

Outside of singing, we had a great time exploring some of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches: Hanauma Bay, Waikiki, and the North Shore (Waimea Bay).
On the way home from Hanauma Bay, we stopped by a beach on the North Shore that is famous for its sea turtles (apparently they love the green algae that grows on the craggy rocks spattered across this beach). We hopped out of the car and saw 5 turtles sunning in the beach! They were huge!

Waimea Bay was also beautiful: we went rock jumping at this bay...plummeting off of rocks into the rolling ocean water 30 feet below. A lot of local boys were hanging out on top of the rocks, and when I asked one of them what I was supposed to do, he replied, "Just Jump." And so I did! It was really scary, but awesome! I got 2 other girls in Whim to join me on the next jump.

W also visited the Waimea park and botanic gardens which had an amazing waterfall and swimming hole that we went to. There were some famous scenes from the TV show Lost, that were filmed here.
