On Saturday we headed out on a search for furniture. We went by Walmart and Kmart just to see what they have and then continued on to the Navy Exchange at Pearl Harbor. As we were walking in, we spotted this beautiful brown leather sectional for $1000. We couldn't pass it up and had it delivered this morning. Eric has already found his favorite spot to watch The O'Reilly Factor.

In case I didn't say it before, the Navy Exchange at Pearl Harbor is huge. By far one of the largest I've seen. I thought the one in Japan that I went to was large, but it doesn't even compare to this exchange. I could easily spend all day there. After buying this couch, we headed to Costco for our first big grocery trip. That was fun.

On Sunday, we finally went to the beach. Sort of. We were originally on a trip to look for Mopeds for Eric, and when we realized all of the stores were closed, we ended up at the Hale Koa. For those of you that don't know, the Hale Koa is an all military hotel on Waikiki. It's right next door to the Hilton Hawaiian Village at the far west end of Waikiki, so it's a pretty secluded portion of the beach. The great thing about the Hale Koa is that any DoD personnel can use their facilities, even if they're not staying in the hotel. I showed Eric around the property and got to see the additions they've made since I was there last and then we headed to the pool. We spent about an hour there, we didn't want to get burnt on our first trip to the beach, and then headed home. So we didn't really spend any time on the beach, but it sure felt good to be out in the sun at the pool. Sorry, we don't have any pictures, we completely forgot to bring the camera until we got there. We're hoping to get to the beach again this weekend, so we should have some pictures soon.
