While we were all down in Hawaii, we decided it would be awesome to go to a Luau.  Really not a lot more thought was put into it than that, so we booked one. Done deal! 🙂 It was held on the roof of one of the nearby hotels, so not 100% authentic, but still a convenient way to experience the culture, see some dancing, and feast! I really enjoyed the music and dancing.  Would definitely do this again!

I just let him do what he wanted and got some sort of badass thorny flower thing. Not too bad. I should let strange men draw on me with markers more often...
