Ihilani Surprise

This past weekend, we decided to take a short vacation and do an over-nighter at the Ihilani Resort. We also decided to make it a surprise for Blake. So we started out the day by dropping Michelle off at work. She would be finishing early, at around 9:00, so Blake and I were just going to hang around to kill some time. We told him that we would go drive around the island and find a beach to go to.
So we started off at Starbucks and then walked around Kakaako park, which by the way, is over run with cats. I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but there were 3 cats on the sign and we must have seen at least 50 more through out the park and I can only guess at how many were hiding the brush.
Anyway, we finally got to Ihilani and Blake was thoroughly surprised. He had no clue until we checked in. We spent the rest of the day and most of the next swimming at the beach and at the pool and hanging out in the room. We totally lucked out because a friend of Michelle's upgraded us to a suite. The room was huge. It was actually a regular sized bedroom with a foyer and a side tv room. Plus it had a huge bathroom with a king sized jacuzzi.
We had a great weekend and a well deserved and much needed break.
