Yesterday, my girlfriend and I took a road trip to the North Shore of Oahu. I haven’t gone to North Shore in a while and with school being out, I thought it would be a good opportunity to go to the beach and get a tan. We decided to take the scenic route and drive along the coastline. We passed by Sandy’s beach, Makapuu, Waimanalo, and then ended up in Kailua, where we got lost. After we got our bearings, we found Kamehameha Highway which would eventually took us to North Shore. Along the way, we stopped at a lunch wagon in Kahuku and had their famous shrimps for lunch. After that, we kept driving until we reached Waimea Bay in North Shore, our final destination where we were supposed to meet our friends. Mind you, we spent about 2 and 1/2 hours driving just to get Waimea. But the funny thing is, when we got to Waimea the weather was terrible. It was pouring rain and there was thunder and lightning. So we basically drove all the way up to North Shore to see thunder and lightning… haha so much for my tan. After we met up with our friends, we decided to ditch the beach and go to Haleiwa to have shave ice. After shave ice we drove back and got home at about 5. All in all, it was an okay day. I just can’t believe I drove for 6 hours to get shave ice.
