Slack Key Guitar Festival

Danille (Brant's sister who's visiting us) needed to do some additional research for a presentation she's giving, so we went with her down to Honolulu to a slack key guitar festival. It was awesome! It was in this huge park right across the street from Waikiki. We sat in our beach chairs for several hours listening to some of the best guitar playing I had ever heard...in perfect weather...right across from Waikiki. Let me tell you, it was ROUGH :) After the festival was over, Brant wanted to go walk on the beach for a few minutes. He was finding these cool pieces of coral in the shallows...but got distracted and was then soaked by a huge wave. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but we weren't wearing our swimsuits so it made for a wet ride home for Brant.

A few pictures of the festival in the park.

There are these awesome trees all over the place. They are HUGE and in order to support the weight of these massive branches that just grow outwards like a huge umbrella, the tree grows these vines down towards the ground. Eventually, the vine is long enough to touch the ground and then grows INTO the ground and acts as another trunk to support the branch. It's amazing to see and, before the vines turn into trunks, REALLY fun to play on.
