Oh my goodness, look at Lanikai beach

Classic Lanikai view

Aloha! This weekend our family spent some time at a beach house in Lanikai, Oahu. The idea of going there to relax this 3-day Memorial Day holiday was not an original one, as you can see. Never in my life have I seen this beach as crowded. On a normal day it is pretty secluded, tucked away around the corner from Kailua town, with outrigger canoes going out for practice in the early morning and late afternoon, a handful of sunbathers, and maybe a wedding shoot. But not yesterday. Take a look at all the activity!
