Our day at Laie

Day two we headed up to Laie. First we headed to the temple to attend a session. It was great to attend such a laid back session. The workers were of course very nice and we had a wonderful time. We were both surprised at how little this temple is. The missionaries working on the temple grounds were great. We took advantage of the restrooms in the visitors center to change. We then headed over to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Of course the the first thing we did there was shop. I had no idea that they have a jewelry shop there. We found ourselves confronted by a great sales lady. Within a few minutes we were leaving with a receipt for a black Tahitian pearl ring. They have sized it and it is now on it way to us via Fed-Ex.

It took us a little while to figure out how everything works in the PCC. We started making the rounds to the villages to see the shows. We visited Tonga, Tahiti, Fiji and Hawaii that afternoon. We also caught the Canoe Pageant. We didn't get there soon enough to get a great seat but still enjoyed it. Jane found a quilt shop as we were going around, but we didn't have time to really shop there since it was time for the Luau. They put on the number one rated Luau in Hawaii and I learned two things. 1. The family in our ward that served this food for a ward dinner does a great job. 2. I now know that I just don't like luau food. (I usually like everything) But the Luau was fun. It was then time for the big night show. It was really good and I did get one of the pineapple delight deserts at intermission.

This was a really full day. We left our hotel at 8 in the morning and didn't get back till about 10:30 at night. Overall it was a great day.
