First Date Night in Waikiki


So we have officially been in our house like maybe two weeks or so.  Enough time to realize how much we need a date night.

Chris has been having a hard time with the fact that we live in the amazing place and he can't even tell we live here while he's at work.  He has no window in his space and the one in the office doesn't even show palm trees, or so I'm told.  

So since we have a sitter and it's time to go out, he's dying to go downtown to Waikiki.  

We found this great place called "Duke's".  They have an inside area for the regular fare, and an on-the-beach section that's more burgers and fries.  It was so much fun.  Chris especially liked watching the sun go down over the ocean while we waited for our food.  The beach is literally just beyond the little wall that separates us in the restaurant from the beach goers near the shoreline.  We even watched a catamaran come ashore.  It was great.  Chris is a fan of the tiki torches and so he took this picture.
He wants to get tikis for our backyard, but all I had to do was mention all the ways the kids could get into trouble with fire so close at hand and he was kind enough to let it go for the evening.

So silly!
