Hawaii - Day 7

So here we are again...still trying to finish up Hawaii posts.  It's only taken me a year.  Geezzz!   I just wanted to be able to enjoy it for as long as possible! 

OK - Day 7...In my opinion, Day 7 was the best day!  I was able to do something I have wanted to do for my whole life!  It started out with another trip to Hanauma Bay for some snorkeling.  We wanted to see if we could get there on a warmer/sunnier day.  It was sunnier but a bit windy.

On our way to the next adventure we pulled off at this little outlook, looking over the ocean.  It was so beautiful.  The water was pefectly blue!

Now, on to the best part of the day and possibly the week...

Visiting the Sea Life Park where we swam with dolphins!

We started out our visit eating hot dogs and watching the dolphin show.

Next, we walked around and mostly just watched the sea turtles until it was our time to swim with the Dolphins.

I have wanted to do this for as long as I can remember and it was just as awesome as I had imagined!  We were able to pet her as she swam by.  She came up and gave each of us a kiss and then when it was your turn to take a ride - we swam out in to the middle of the pool.  You would put your right arm out to the side and clasp your left hand to your upper right arm.  Then Nani swam right behind you and you had to catch her fins and hold on tight.  It was soooooo amazing!!  One of the best things I've ever done!   Once everyone had their turn we all got goggles and were able to just swim around the pool while she swam around us.  Soooooo cool!

Scot wasn't so sure about it when I first started talking about doing this but he had a great time too! 

The setting of the park was amazing, in and of itself.  It was right on the ocean!  So perfect!

After the Sea Life Park it was time to head back to Waikiki.  Our last night in Hawaii!! We went back and walked along the beach and had some dinner and maybe even shed a tear or two that we would be leaving the next day.  Ok not really but I swear I could have if I had really wanted to!!

Dinner at P.F. Changs over looking the shops!  So fun!

Stay tuned for our LAST and FINAL day in Paradise!
