On this day my DH was celebrating his birthday. We also were going to the Aloha stadium swap meet. So we got up early again and headed out to Honolulu and the Aloha stadium. The traffic was almost non-existent this morning and it was so quick to get to the stadium. It is right down the road from Pearl Harbor so you could potentially do these on the same day. We got there about 6 or 6:30am and people were still setting up. It cost $1 for parking and we ended up in the handicap parking area which is so much closer to the booths. (DFIL had brought his permit with him) So we went and started looking anyway. DFIL was looking for some Hawaiian shirts and wanted to make sure that he would get some. There are many booths that repeat themselves and many that are owned by the same families. We ended up walking around the stadium 2 times and people were still setting up even later. We ended up finding several Hawaiian shirts, beach towels, quilt squares, window decals, wind chimes, and some other items. We had a low picture day this day but we did get a few.
We were there for about 4 hours and headed to Denny's for lunch. Then we went back to the room and found this.
So yummy too.
Then we went to spend the afternoon by the pool...well the chairs were full so we went and sat around the fire pit. DH listened to his IPOD, DMIL and I well we read our Kindles and relaxed..
After spending some time there we walked around the pool area, they were filming the whole week we were there for commercials and advertising and so things were a little different. They were shooting the pool party and they were doing retakes over and over. So after a while we got exposed to enough sun and went inside to do laundry. But before we went in we snagged a few pictures with
DMIL and I went and did laundry while the guys watched the Seahawks. We enjoyed the laundry room it was cool, had good seating and a tv with a remote. After laundry was done we headed back up to the room and the Seahawks were ahead enough that we left during the 4th quarter and headed to Denny's for birthday dinner. DH didn't want to go anywhere else. We went to McDonald's afterwards also and got another set of pies. Then we headed back to the resort and DMIL headed down to the couches on the 3rd floor right off the lobby on the balcony that overlooks the pool area. I headed down a little after her and joined her and we both just relaxed in the cool air listening to the band in the oleo room downstairs. Then before we fell asleep we headed back to the room for the night.
