friday morning we headed out to the south shore again. we went to a super secluded beach called... wait for it... hideaways. imagine that! yep, another long hike down a small trail, and a beautiful beach appeared before us!! seriously we had it all to ourselves!! it was a gorgeous day. well i haven't really mentioned that, but all week the weather was PERFECT! in the low 80's, with little to no humidity! it was cloudy a few times, but we'd set out to our beach for the day, and by time we got there blue skies and sunshine. lots and lots of sunshine!! :D nate and i went walking on this beach and climbed up some huge rocks.. it was so peaceful to just look around at god's amazing creation. so relaxing to just soak in the beauty of it all! 

we then ate lunch at a cool little place with another amazing view. i think i got a burger to eat, and nate had fish tacos. and for dessert... HULA PIE! and ohmygoodnessgracious it was amazing! really it was just a HUGE slice of vanilla icecream with whip cream and chocolate syrup over it, but man it was good!! 

after lunch we went to a cool beach called glass beach. it was crazy... the beach wasn't really made of shells, but pieces of glass that had washed up. apparently after the pieces of beer bottles and such has swirled around in the sand and been pushed in and out from the tide, they were no longer sharp. it was crazy.. really pretty!! also we found the shadow tree.. we didn't really go late enough, so it was hard to make the cool shadows like we wanted to, but i think you get the idea in the few pics we did get!

loni and jake went somewhere with some friends that nite, so nate and i were on our own! we ate at brickoven pizza, delish of course! then we went into hanapepe for an artwalk. it was a small little town with stores all up and down the strip.. anything from books to paintings, jewelry and food... i'd maybe compare it to a homestead hollow or trussville dog dayz type deal. we bought a few more souveniers here. we also went on this crazy shake super scary *for me, b/c i'm scared of heights!!* swinging bridge! it's a historical marker.. and i can say i made it to the other side and back, and survived. didn't love it, was quite nervous... but i made it! :D after that we went for icecream... then met back up with loni and jake. and we ended the nite by catching up on watching the bachelorette. in hawaii... how cool is that?!?! :))
