Day 7

Girls got up and walked to the Hilton today to check out where tomorrow's Dolphin Quest will be held. Around lunch I picked them up and we drove towards Kona to check it out. Was tempted to pick up the yellow Lambourghini's keys at the Hilton valet but decided not to. The Pontiac G6 is enough car for me.

Kristen really wanted a hot dog, plus we needed to buy an alarm watch, so we stopped at Costco for lunch. Yeah, go ahead and laugh, but the  three of us ate pizza, hot dogs and a Caesar salad with drinks for $10. The Caesar salad alone at the Hilton was $17. 

Costco didn't have the watch though, so we had to stop at WalMart.

Kona was a bust, kind of like Myrtle Beach but crappier and older. Not worth the time. We'll be going back next weekend for a festival at a park, but overall it was a waste. 

We did stop at the beachfront Huggo's bar, that was on Jill's todo list. We really partied down with 2 iced teas and a lemonade, plus a bag of chips for $10. The place was outdoor waterfront, but really just a dive bar. 

There was a thick fog over Kona and I wondered if it was fog or Vog (Volcanic fog / sulfuric acid fog.) I think it was Vog.

Drove back home and went to the pool. Took a couple of underwater pictures that came out surprisingly well.Dinner of steaks on the grill and salad and baked potato. Chatted with the guy downstairs from Seattle. He has 3 daughters under 6, and they went coconut collecting just like Kristen. You can never have too many coconuts. Kristen has about 10.

Tomorrow - Dolphins!
