Fun in the Sun

What a gorgeous day today! A little windy, but the sun was shining and beckoning us outdoors.

First, Kevin's swim training, followed by some basketball with his mom at the park in full view of the beautifully green Diamond Head. We had so much fun playing around, and I even made some free throws...whoosh!...not too bad for Kev's old mom. Afterwards, I needed a swim, so I called a friend for a beach run. Our normal haunts were crowded, so we decided to explore a bit, but still close to home.

Lo and behold, we found the prettiest little beach, one my friend had never found in twenty years of living on O'ahu. It's perfect. It has an access off the beaten path, a curved sandy cove protected by two outer breaks, perfect for swimming. The cove itself is surrounded by lots of reef perfect for snorkeling and fishing, and along the beach there are tide pools for exploring. For the more adventurous, Franko's O'ahu Surfing Map says it's also home to two "expert only" level surf breaks.

Heaven five minutes from home. We spent the rest of the afternoon there. Next time, I'm bringing our snorkel gear...oh, and a camera. :)
