Living the High Life for a Day

Last night we went out for Mexican in Waikiki and the spicy taco contest. Afterward we went for a beach walk and to get a drink and listen to some music while we enjoyed the ocean view. We stopped in at a little shop and chatted with the guy working there. He told us about a pool party in Waikiki that was happening the next day and a "secret code" of how to get in without paying the cover! Will and I figured, why not? Monday was labor day so we could get our chores done then, and be able to play on Sunday. Also, the pools along Waikiki are almost always exclusively for guests, so we had to take the opportunity to get into a fancy pool!

So we got up and got ready. This was a fancy pool party after all, more like a day club than just lounging at the beach. We packed our pool bag and headed to the Modern Hotel. We got there toward the beginning of the party so we got a great little spot next to the pool. There was sand around the pool so you totally felt like you were at the beach.

Lounging under the palm trees on some adirondack chairs. What a beautiful view of the harbor, too!

The whole day was super chill. There were two DJs mixing some tropical vibes, yummy fish tacos, and yummy mojitos and lemonades. It never got very crowded, and we had a great time chatting with other people there, a few on vacation and some locals, too.

It was fun to pretend to be fancy people for a day!
