Last Saturday Mike & I both had work off...
and football season hasn't started yet ...
so we decided to go Paddleboarding!
We woke up REALLY early and went on base to meet up with our little tour group. We all loaded into a van and drove out to the North Shore. When we got there we had a short instruction session and then we were off! I was really nervous that I would be super bad and slow the whole group down, but I did alright!
Mike was really speedy. He almost took out a sea turtle with his oar, it was pretty funny! The tour started out in the ocean, but then we veered off into this river and it was BEAUTIFUL.
Paddleboarding is really peaceful and relaxing.
Mmmm-hmmmm.
After we were done Paddleboarding, we still had the afternoon and we've been wanting to go visit Pearl Harbor. We spent a few hours there as well, enjoying learning more about the stories and feeling inspired by the sacrifice.
Two of Mike's relatives were killed in the attacks - we found their names on the wall in the memorial - D.J. Lakin and J.J. Lakin.
Behind us is the recovered anchor from the USS Arizona.
And... I just really really love the expression Mike went with for this photo. :)
Love having days off to explore with my best friend!
