My Favorite Places

There are a few things in life that make me really happy--and i mean like a little kid on Christmas happy. There are four spots I have found in Laie that give me this feeling. They are so random, but I love them.

1. The end of the Point-I have an obsession with water/fountains/things like the Belliago water show and the end of the Point has its very own. Off the point maybe twenty yards, there are 2 other volcanic rock formations that stick up out of the water. When the waves are huge they hit the rocks just perfectly that they splash up and make a "water show". Sometimes the water splashes up 10 or 15 feet in the air. It is really cool and I love it!! The pictures do not do it justice and I always took them a second too late so you cannot see how amazing it really was.

2. The swing set and grass field-I love playing on swings so much and a few weeks ago I found a swing set!!! My favorite part about this swing set is that it is not easily found, You would have to know where it was to find it. This means that no one is really ever there!! I love to go on my morning run around Laie and then go play on the swings afterwards. There is a huge grass field around the swing set, so at night time you can lay in the grass and see a million stars!! It is gorgeous and might be my favorite spot in the entire world right now.

3. The grass hill-I love this grass hill because after I do my long hills workout, it is the perfect place to just go lay down and rest. It is also a really good spot to look at the stars and clouds from which I love. This grass hill is one of my favorite places because you literally can see the beach from it. It is really neat to be up on this hill and see the small little town of Laie, the beach, and the ocean. I wish I had a picture of it, but believe me, it is breath-taking.

4. The Little Mermaid rock- There are actually two places on the beach I really love, but I don't know how to describe the other one. The Little Mermaid rock is literally this rock (with tons of sand on top of it) on the end of Temple Beach that goes out into the water. It is a great place to lay out and you feel like Ariel when you are on it. When I go to the beach, I always go to one of these two places and love it. You can see forever into the ocean and it is just so relaxing.

This is the other spot, it is a little past Temple Beach and after the curve in the beach. There really is no better way to explain it.
