Underpants and Dolphins

Yesterday morning was the infamous Underpants Run downtown. It supports the Special Olympics and is basically just what it sounds like: a bunch of people running in their underwear! Tri Fusion always represents with red wigs and boas and this year we did not disappoint. I seriously felt like a celeb. Everyone wanted their picture taken with us and we are gracing quite a few websites covering the race as I'm writing this! It was a blast!


Yep, that's my man! Although you can't really tell from the pic, he is definitely sporting a mustache! Awesome.

After the run, we decided it was time for a chill day at the pool. That's where I was introduced to the Chi Chi: coconut milk, pineapple juice, and rum blended together. It was magically delicious! Also good was the Lava Flow which was basically a pina colada with strawberry mixed in. Yum!


In the evening, Eric and I headed downtown to do a little shopping. We made a stop at Hawaii's oldest church. It was built in 1820. The grounds surrounding in were beautiful.

Today was the day I have been looking forward to all week. When I was younger, I was pretty much obsessed with dolphins. I was convinced I was going to be a marine biologist so that I could just swim with them all day. It was time to make my dream come true. We headed out on a little boat today in search of dolphins. It took us a while to find them, but once we did, it was magical. We found a pod and then surged ahead of them, put on our snorkeling gear, and got in the water to wait for them to swim by. The first time I saw them, which was just 2 of them, I felt like a little kid at Christmas. Then, I turned to my right and the entire pod of like 20 of them swam right past me. So close I could almost touch them. We repeated this 3 more times. Words cannot do this experience justice for me. It was incredible!

Our captain and total bad ass, Tara

On our way back, we found the pod again and they started playing with the boat! They were swimming and jumping in the wake as well as swimming right under the front of the boat. It was so much fun to watch. They were having a blast playing with us and we were all hooting and hollering like 5 year olds. So much fun!
