Ala Moana rocks!

Sundays were made for shopping! We all headed over the mountain to Ala Moana mall - only the coolest mall like ever! We shopped almost every square inch of that place! Here's Will and Maria coming out of the Honolulu Harley Davidson shop. Hibiscus flowers on Harley motorcycles are so hard-core!
Here's another great shot of Jim and Maria at one of the mall's many koi ponds and waterfalls. We think we could live there, maybe.
Taking a rest with our bounty of goodies!


After shopping our tails off, we were quite famished and headed up to the top of Neiman Marcus for an amazing sunset dinner at Mariposa Restaurant. Here we are just about ready for our food. (ps...check out Maria's amazing lychee drink! It must have had a dozen yummy lychee all jammed in there!)

Disclaimer: Please forgive our gratuitous pictures of food. We can't help it. We're obsessed.

Here is Will's wine-braised short rib...yummmm...


Jim ordered this beautiful salmon artwork for dinner.


And Maria and I couldn't resist the seared scallops on top of squid-ink risotto. Amazingly good!


Oh! And the sunset didn't disappoint either.


On our way home, we couldn't help but notice the HUGE moon on the horizon. So, being the wild, impulsive creatures we are...we all headed down to the beach to watch the (nearly) full moon rise. We know it looks like the sun...PROMISE - it's the moon and its reflection on the water. Another magical moment at Kailua beach.
