I think Jared and I take living in Hawaii for granted. We've experienced a lot here but in my opinion, it's not nearly enough. It's still so weird that we live here. I literally have to say to myself some days "YOU LIVE IN HAWAII"..because I think I forget. I never in a million years would have imagined myself a) living in Hawaii and b) living in Hawaii with my HUSBAND! Yea, the husband part is still crazy to me too.
Anyway, when Saturday morning rolled around, Jared and I were having our usual "what are we going to do today?" conversation. I'm so indecisive so this conversation usually lasts for over an hour and consists of us going back and forth with different options. Annoying, I know. It annoys ME so I can only imagine how Jared feels. Thank God he loves me. So, back to the story- we decided to act like tourists for the day. We walked around the city, took pictures, grabbed a snack at a local gem, had lunch on the water (at a touristy place that is way overpriced) and drank island drinks with little umbrellas.

Yep, it was pretty awesome. We need more of those days. Like maybe every weekend. :)
Look around guys. I bet you'll see that life is pretty amazing.
Wow.... looks like a fun day! I can totally relate to this... my husband and I moved to Victoria, BC 3 years ago, and while it isn't Hawaii (though about as close as you can get in Canada!) I sometimes take a look around and go woah! How lucky am I?

Playing tourist is something everyone should do in their own town/city! I lived in NYC for 7 years and didn't do all of the tourist things I should have and I always regret it!
ReplyDeleteYou live in Hawaii. JEALOUS. But playing tourist is a must, especially in such an amazing, beautiful place!

Looks like so much fun! I lived in San Diego for many years, and it was always fun to do "touristy" things in your own city!
ReplyDeleteI think a day like tourists is just what you guys needed! :) Sounds like it was a great day!
