Day 4 started with Cameron not feeling great. So Dave and the girls grabbed the boogie boards and headed down to the beach while Cameron laid on the couch and I snuggled up with the sun on the balcony and a good John Grisham book (that by the way had an ending I didn't love).I was out reading on the deck and came in to check Cameron. By change I happened to feel his neck and his glands were swollen.. a quick look down his throat and white spots... could it be strep?
After lots of calls and the girls and Dave enjoying the morning at the beach we found an urgent care clinic and 15 minutes later Cameron was on amoxicillan! Thanks to ibuprofen he was feeling pretty good and we decided Pearl Harbor would be a relaxing, low stress afternoon activity.
With only one slight detour and direction asking, we found Pearl Harbor and started the tour. That really is an amazing place that has a reverence about it. The movie gave a perfect start and had me in tears (ok... only 2 times so far this trip) and then we did the boat ride. It is so sad to visualize what happened that day, all of the lives that were lost and the families that were effected. The kids really seemed to enjoy it and Cameron seemed to be feeling pretty good!
After dinner the girls and I wandered through the shops again and headed to the beach. This time the girls wore their swimming suits and danced on the beach in the moonlight. It was just perfect! We even got to see the fishermen catch a huge, slimy eel -- yes in the same water they'd been playing in... but it didn't seem to bother them.
On the way home we found more penny squishers (another entry later) and a new shave ice place (my favorite). We brought home shave ice for Dave and watched Harry Potter and enjoyed another cool treat!
Another calm evening at home (good thing about time change is that the kids go to bed early and wake up early too).
