The note had instructions to pack an overnight bag and be ready to leave by 1700 that night....and wear a dress. Reservations for a romantic dinner had been made followed by a night of dancing.
We parked in a parking structure and then got on an elevator that took us clear to the top! Top of Waikiki, the restaurant. It's a revolving restaurant with a magnificent view of waikiki, diamond head, the beach, and beyond. We arrived just in time for the gorgeous sunset.
Me at our table with diamond head behind me!
The sun setting
Our appetizer was an upright california roll... the best I have ever had!
We both ordered the lobster, Nick's had some extras, but both of our meals we had to send back as it was over cooked. Our lobster was rubbery and we couldn't even cut into it! The waiter was really good about it and they brought us out new entrees! This time around it was perfect!
We enjoyed our meal as we revolved around at one rotation per hour. It was so fun!
We had to go up two sets of escalators to get to the restaurant. This is Nick coming down the last set after our meal. (and two Mai Tais)
We went on to Nashville Waikiki, which is the one and only country western bar on the island. It was a neat little hole in the wall place, and it just so happened that pretty much the entire fleet of flightline guys from Nick's squadron showed up! So, Nick got free beers most of the night, and I was highly entertained by the group...who constantly mingled at our table. I've never laughed so much! And heard a lot of really nice things about Nick from all the guys. It was obvious that they really respected him and enjoyed having him there.
We had a great time! We stayed the night at a friend's condo in Waikiki (he's currently in Iraq). It was nice to get away for one night, just the two of us and be able to have adult conversation. With 3 kids, it's not too often we get to spend this kind of quality time together, and really meant a lot since he is leaving in a few short days.
Meridith stayed at home with the kiddos. She made them spaghetti for supper and then treated them to pancakes for breakfast, per Trevor's request when he went in to wake her up at 6:45 am! Luckily, Addison slept all night and McKenzie was a huge help!
Thanks Meridith!!!!
