Hawaii Day 6 (Part 2): Hawaii LDS Temple, Sunset & Fireworks

After a quick clean up we checked out of our Airbnb and ventured up the northeast side of the island to the highlight of the day: the Laie Temple. Being here in Korea, we are lucky to have a temple within an hour of us, but the difference is we are only able to catch an English session 1 time a month. The Laie temple is located in the Northeast side of Oahu, nestled close to BYU Hawaii and the Polynesian cultural center.

It was such a wonderful experience to go through the temple here. The day was beautiful, but it made us appreciate once again the knowledge, power and protection that the temple ordinances provide.

We left from there to spend our final night in the heart of Waikiki at our final hotel. We had hotel points we could use for this one, so we figured we would use it. The place was nice, but what we had planned for, was the great view of the Friday night fireworks that occur on the beach. We had a spectacular dinner at a restaurant on the beach - including any really tasty and fun unleaded speciality drinks!

Since the restaurant was right by the beach, Heather ran out to the beach to get her last sunset there!

We went out to the beach for the fireworks. After having been to a whole lot of different firework shows, quality sure varies. You can have your stadium of fire experience, or your at home experience, but this one was one of the coolest because of the setting - beachfront, sand, your best friend sitting next to you.

It was a perfect way to end the trip, and welcome in the thoughts that you have to go back home, back to work, back to juggling the chitlins!
