On Sunday we moved into our new apartment. Easiest move ever and it only took two trips in my car. I love my new home and feel so lucky to have it, but there have been a couple drawbacks. First, no electricity until Wednesday. Initially, not having electricity just feels a little bit like camping, but then you begin to realize everything that you are missing. We couldn't cook, keep food cold, read after dark, or charge anything. It was a lot like camping but without smores or a cooler. There was a fire (just candles) and there is still a blow up mattress. My wish list has turned from luxuries to necessities like a trash can, couch and working refrigerator.
Being that we moved on a Sunday, once we were finished dropping off our things we headed off to the North Shore. The weather turned gloomy as we approached. We had coupons for shave ice at the Volcom store. Their ice is a fantastic consistency, but their flavors lack authenticity.

As we approached Waimea Bay the traffic got tight. They waves were huge and there was speculation that the Eddie might happen. It didn't happen, but people were still parked up and down the coast to get a glimpse of the waves. As we left to go home, the rain started in and followed us all the way to the dark of our new apartment.
