Penguins in Hawaii!? We pulled out all the stops this past weekend for some anniversary fun in Waikiki. Thanks to my Hilton rewards credit card Heidi and I had a free weekend at the Hawaiian Hilton Village Resort in Waikiki. It is a pretty incredible complex reaching over 22 acres on the west end of Waikiki beach. 8 swimming pools, jacuzzis, and water slides played a big part in our "stay-cation". There is even a penguin rock pool exhibit there.

I think we were the only people there excited about the weather being overcast and a little rainy. We would jump from the pool to the hot tub, out to the ocean, and down the water slide into the pool again.
I can't say that this is our normal adventurous weekend but what a way to mix things up. I was pretty excited about seeing the Friday night fireworks show but it turned out that our room was perfectly blocked from view. I tried to climb up to the roof of our tower, Hangover style, but the access door was shut tight.

It was cool to get a nighttime view of Waikiki and soak it in over a couple of days. While this is the one place a lot of visitors see, it is the place that locals avoid the most. Parking is expensive and the rest of the island is just so inviting. However it is a beast unto itself and definitely worth checking out. Endless restaurants, entertainment, even a huge parade on our first morning there made Waikiki the place to be last weekend.
