Don't worry, the title is not a typo. On Wednesday Nate and I finally got to go out and have the little birthday adventure I'd been scheming about since June of last year. It might have something to do with the love of my life working two jobs and being the bishop of our ward. And my dear friend being super sick and not able to babysit Manu on the few days he did have off. Maybe. I feel I've dealt with the situation with remarkable patience. (We won't mention that I'd practically given up on it)
But Wednesday everything finally came together. The day was perfect - not much wind, clear skies, calm water. So we went sea kayaking! It was amazing! We started off at Kailua beach and paddled out to
the Mokes (
Mokulua Islands). These two islands (Mokulua means "twin islands") are part of the Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary, but you can land on the beach of the left island (looking from shore) and look around.
Here's some pics from the adventure:

It was so perfect, I told Nate this is what I wanted to do every year for my birthday. Can't wait to go out again!
