North Shore Oahu













Thursday we had a fun day on the North Shore. Lauralee had gotten us discounted tickets to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We stopped in Haleiwa for sandwiches and shave ice before heading to Sharks Cove for some snorkeling and sun. Lauralee's husband (Joes sister that lives on the North Shore) got there just in time to take some of the older group to a cool snorkeling spot that included some cave diving. They ended up going a little longer than we had planned so only had about an hour at the PCC villages before they closed, but it started raining anyway, so wasn't the perfect day for it. We found a cool hamburger spot, Seven Brothers, that could accommodate all us for dinner. Sadly, our van wouldn't start at the end of dinner and it was a little crazy trying to figure it out. We ended up leaving Gary with the van, in the rain, while the rest of us went to the show at the PCC (no reason for everyone to miss it, right?) Gary was the hero as always, after alot of back and forth with the rental company and what was starting to look like an overnight in Laie, he was able to get a nice guy from the hamburger shop to help him jumpstart it and get it going. He was able to watch the end of the show and we all returned to  the resort as planned with no more car problems. Yay!
