Hawaii - Day 5

Jeannette and my mom at Dim Sum

Sunday was one of our least active days, yet it still seemed pretty busy. My family got up in the morning and went to church. Afterward, my mom and I took Jeannette out for her first taste of Chinese dim sum. It's too bad that we got there towards the end of the lunch session, otherwise Jeannette would have been able to try more of the standard dim sum dishes.

After lunch we had some time to rest, but my niece Lindsey made sure we didn't rest too much. She's so cute, but some times (ok, all the time) she can be a handful.

After our period of "rest" we jumped into the car and drove to town to get picked up by the tour bus to Germaine's Luau. Guess what? We were late. I'm glad the bus waited for us, but it was embarracing walking to the back of the bus with everyone staring at us.

The luau itself was pretty fun. Of course, it largely catered to tourists, but it provided an entertaining evening. As corny as the stage show was, the dancers had amazing skills. A tip for any girls reading this: take hula lessions or any type of polynesian dance lessons (especially Tahitian). The moves learned in those dances will make any guy powerless to resist you. I hoped to post some images of the dances, but the pictures we took do them no justice.
