The Night Memories were Made

While in Hawaii, Seth and I were blessed with a date night. (Thank you grandma and grandpa for taking our kids for the night!) We had the night before us, $29.00 to our name, and a world of possibilities.

Heading out at 8:00 p.m., we drove to Bubba's, a cute hamburger joint, with inexpensive burgers and frings (french fries and onion rings and it was said they were, "known to save marriages".) We ordered the teriyaki burgers, because it seemed most like Hawaiian fare, and we enjoyed them with our frings, believing that this purchase had truly saved our marriage. :)

At 8:42, with the night still before us, we journeyed over to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, hoping to discover amazement. And that is exactly what we found! Upon entering the hotel we were enticed onward with melodies floating on the air. We found ourselves dancing under the stars to those tunes, feeling as if we had discovered a private world, where we were the only inhabitants.Wandering through the grounds, we drank in the sights and enjoyed the beauty. Our feet dangled as we swung back and forth to the sounds of waterfalls cascading beside us. And then we stumbled upon Tidepools. Grass huts surrounded by a lagoon, waterfalls from every view, torches burning, and fish to entertain. Walking in with $12.00 in our pocket, we asked to see the dessert menu. Molten Lava Chocolate Cake called out to us and we were quickly seated.This truly felt like paradise.Just the two of us, together.
The restaurant was beautiful, the cake delicious . . .oh, so scrumptious . . .
and quickly gone.Had we really eaten the entire thing?Finding our way to the beach, we discovered empty cabanas calling us in. Our view was breathtaking. Stars stretched for miles in all directions. Waves seemed to float to shore. Again, we were the lone inhabitants in this magnificent world!

As our night came to an end we were thankful to have been two people, in paradise, with music and waves floating together to make a beautiful, romantic harmony. Memories were made!
