Hawaiian Vacation - Part IV

This is a repost of a blog from May 10th, 2007 which was originally on the social media website, Myspace.

The next day we really took it easy.  We started our morning at the gym once again and then moved out to the pool to lounge around.  We saw our friends from dinner a couple nights before, the two ladies that were at our table.  This time they were at the pool and doing water aerobics to 50's music.  They knew all the words!




We met another lady at the pool that recommended we go to this restaurant called The Yard House which was there on Waikiki.  We took her advice and headed over.  This place was great!  They had over 160 beers on draught!  You could order them by the pint or the yard in these big long glasses.  They had a keg room which was all refridgerated and then all the keg lines ran up into these pipes on the ceiling, 10 keg lines per pipe, which were also refridgerated.  These lines then ran to the taps themselves.  It was pretty impressive. 



We got friendly with the manager and she ended up buying us our appetizer which was pretty damn nice.  She also said that they're going to be opening another Yard House in Boston sometime in the next couple years.  I highly recommend it!



We ate fish for lunch and it was delicious.  I had the Ono and Malisa had the Mahi Mahi.  You could get it 3 different ways...she got hers blackened and I got mine covered with Macadamias.  Then they gave you some pesto, some white sauce that had a sort of lemon taste and some mango salsa to eat it with.  Yum!



After lunch we went to the U.S. Army Museum on the beach right next to the Hale Koa hotel.  It was pretty interesting and focused on Pearl Harbor and Hawaiians that have fought in ever war from WW II to the present.


After lunch and the museum, we walked back to the hotel and then did some shopping at the mall.  It was a nice mall, but very expensive with stores that pretty much only Paris Hilton could afford to shop at. 


 





Finally...we headed back to the hotel for more lounging around....sometimes it's nice to do nothing at all.
