Ralphs Hawaii 5 0 Trip, Day One

We planned last june to come back just Ralph and i for Ralphs 50th birthday. We decided to stay in the heart of Hawaii this time and we are totally thilled with our beachside view hotel right on the beach. Ralph turned 50 the day after we arrived and Hayley and Aaron for his birthday got him tickets to go down in a shark cage. So the men went and did that and Hayley and i went and got some wedding items taken care of. We also brought her a darling dress for Feb when they have there yearly Miltary Ball. So she got two nice dresses, a breathtaking wedding dress which im not saying too much about and her miltary ball dress. I really enjoyed not only shopping but wedding shopping with Hayley, we dont get to do that much living so far apart. The men also had a blast and Aaron took tons of pictures. I told Aaron NOT to do that for my birthday. He told me for mine he would do a puppy one. I sit in a cage with cute puppies running around me. lol. lol. After shopping and shark cage we went for lunch and a drive and that evening we went for a yummy dinner at Cattle Company. Heather and Dan got us the gift card for christmas. It was a wonderful first day and Ralph had a totally amazing birthday.
View from our hotel room looking to the side of balcony. The front looks out over ocean.
Everynight when the sun goes down everyone goes to the beach and just stands there watching it, its so cool to see. Also as it went down a show started everynight with Hawaii dancers and singers. Very cool to see of an evening.



They were filming something. Ralph was sure it was Hawaii 50.











At North Shore checking out a huge turtle. I love spending time with Hayley.

The other side of the balcony.



We totally loved the location we stayed at this year. We were not happy last year, this hotel and location was just perfect for us.

Aaron has an underground camera so was able to take pictures of the sharps swimming around the cage.
