End of the third day in Kona

Blog

Living the high life here! We found a deck of old style Skipbo cards in the condo during our cleaning, so I asked Mom if she'd like to play. She agreed, and despite not having played in years (maybe a decade), she kicked my butt. Which I will admit is a bit frustrating, since I KEEP HAVING MY BUTT KICKED AT HOME, TOO.

I swear, my Skipbo mojo is weak.

Errands on Kona Day 3

Blog

Man, today was a day of errands. After Java on the Rocks, we lounged for only a short bit, then started in on all the tasks we had to do for the condo. We left the condo around 10:30 and shopped until nearly 3, including lunch, and really, that is so way not my thing, random shopping. This, however, was focused shopping, and I didn't have the correct shoes on, and my back was killing me.

Mom and I keep waking up at 3:00. "Yay West Coast time!" I guess. Since we're up, we might as well walk at dawn in the cooler air. Turns out, that Java on the Rocks, a breakfast place in Kona, is open at 6:00, so we had a destination for this morning.

Mmmmmmmm... cupcake

Seriously, no day is complete without a cupcake.

We went to the Bleu Cupcakery today (with my giggling, "Mer Bleu! Mer Bleu!" the whole way), and bought a half dozen. I fully expect to eat 5 of them to Mom's 1. We'll see.

The icing on this cupcake is stunningly light. Even Mom liked it.

Awkward

After showing the condo to various people and running errands, I asked Mom if we could lounge in the pool for a bit. Yesterday afternoon was hot and humid and full of melting, so I was hoping to avoid some of that today in the pool. You know, the pool THIS close to the OCEAN.
