I woke up late (6:50 am) again today, so I missed yoga. Sometimes it's nice to sleep in. The past few nights, I have been nursing Chase back to sleep around midnight, and then again at 4 am, before he wakes up for good around 7 - 7:30 am. Chris made waffles and sausages this morning. We love the waffle machine. It makes the best waffles!
We headed to Hawai'i Kai, Costco first, then to Split Obsession, to kill time, waiting for the heat to die down. Around 2 pm, we drove to Makapu'u and put Chase in the hiking backpack. Chase slept the entire way up and down the mountain. It was nice, very windy, and we enjoyed staring at the bright blue ocean water. We stopped at the bunkers along the way, looked at the lighthouse, and took in the beautiful view of Rabbit Island once we got to the top. It was an easy hike, perfect for the afternoon. And, of course, Chase woke up just when we were getting to the car! He missed the entire thing! But we took pictures to show him later.
We rewarded ourselves with Bubbies ice cream. I tried a new flavor: Haupia with dark chocolate flakes. Mmmm...It was very yummy! We met the Halsalls for an early dinner at their favorite Mexican restaurant Cha Cha Cha Salsaria. Got home after 7 pm, and tried Chase in a new bathtub we picked up yesterday. But, he was way too tired and fussy. He just wanted mommy and to go to sleep. He was out like a light by 8:15 pm.
The big news tonight is that Aloha Airlines has announced that they are closing due to bankruptcy and having their final flights tomorrow after 61 years of service. I called my good friend Nina and left a message. She and her husband Jon have been flight attendants for Aloha for the past ten years. Now they, and close to 2,000 others, have no jobs. What will they do now? It's a sad day for Hawai'i, as we lose another big local name.
