After the ATV ride, we were absolutely covered in dust and badly in need of a shower. We had the yet-to-be used boogie board in the trunk and decided we might as well put it to use and wash the dirt off at the same time. There were several really nice beaches on the drive and some of them were nearly empty. I really don't understand why anybody goes to the Waikiki beach, it is soooo crowded. We found a beach where several people were kite boarding, which was interesting to watch. It was kind of chilly, but we decided to brave it and get in the water. The tide was coming in and the waves got progressively stronger the longer we were there. Towards the end, they got too rough for me to handle. Instead of riding the waves, they were knocking me down to the bottom of the ocean with nothing to do but wait under water until they passed over head. I had forgotten how salty the ocean water is. We were so tired by this point in the day, but the boogie boarding re-energized us. I really felt like I was 12 years old again. I had never seen Chris smile so much. After we finished, our covered in dirt problem was replaced by a covered in sand problem. We rinsed off in the COLD outdoor shower on the beach, but that wasn't enough. We got sand all over the interior of the rental car. Chris called the rental company the next day and it would be $75 for them to clean it out, so we made sure to start looking for a car wash! I didn't realize until we got to the car how cold I was. I could not feel my fingers. We turned the heater on and when I finally started to regain feeling, it felt as if hundreds of needles were being stuck in my hands. I can't believe we rode scooters, ATVs and boogie boards all in one day. We are nuts, but having so much fun.
