Aloha 9

These mornings are so .....easy to get used to 

Coffee, key lime pie...we call this breakfast 

 

The color of the water is ever changing  

Getting close to the premier golf course in Hawaii 

74,000 Square feet 

Originally designed for Marilyn Monroe, but in the end, three designs were put together to make this massive and impressive golf club. 
The membership fee is $40,000 and the annual fee, $6,000

Opened as the golf club in 2006 

The King Kamehameha Golf Club

I could not enlarge the reprint, but you get the idea....

I was allowed to wander through the building, except the lower floor, it is the men's locker room.  I had anticipated something closer to the Wright home in Oak Park Illinois, but this building was never a residence.  It has amazing features and view and I was thankful for Christian taking the time to drive me up.  There were a few golfers, but the dining room was closed and inside the huge building I saw only one other person.   The Pro.

And here he is
Frank Lloyd Wright
Architect extraordinaire  

The ladies room 

View from a banquet room 

Time to make the drive back down..
right through the beauty of this place

Now I have seen the golf course called

King Kamehameha Golf Club 

and

So have you  

About now

the elevator was shut down

We are on the 4th floor, so we get our exercise

In case it looks like last night

well, I am sure I found a few more pieces 

Aloha 8

Another beautiful morning

Darrell's friend, taking a stretch

A walk along the beach to catch Anita and Tanner trying out the surf

  Everyone knows that waffles come next  

Then down to the pool   

Where did these guys come from?

Hard to see  BUT little bugs have found their way into the kitchen

RAID 

enough said

Time to take a little drive down the road 

There is an outdoor market 

wild life

live music 

and food

Using your imagination, the tree to the far upper left is full of very happy birds.  Maybe 100,maybe 200.    The video will not download..

Home with plenty of time to work on 

the puzzle..

getting  exciting...

Aloha 7

 

Greetings from the lanai

later in the week we will see the palms getting a trim 

We are going to Lahaina

The boys are taking the submarine ride and the girls are supporting the local merchants.

Nita is a fun shopper.   We paused for a coffee,  found a dress, paused for kombucha, found gifts,

enjoyed the scenery

The Library is closed
But a walk around to the back and the view

So Hawaiian  

More than a favorite

Very unusual  

The waves are coming up right about where we will stop for lunch 

Tasted as good as it looks
Could have been twice the size

Someone always orders coconut shrimp  

Everyone had bites 

Time to get back in the car for the journey home 

We are now on Prison street, interesting when we get to the end of the block

but first......

The Prison 

Getting closer


and here is the prize

And that was the end of Prison Road.

After dinner and some fun time at the pool I realize that the puzzle I brought along is not easy.  It is hard.  Very hard.  But, I never give up and I still have another week to go

and a great good night sunset..

I live an exciting life
