Delayed Weekend
Tried to get a jump start on the weekend but instead had a delayed weekend. On Friday, we planned to head to the Iolani Family Fair when they opened. But we had to wait for our water heater installation, so a lunch arrival time turned into a dinner arrival.
On Saturday, we were going for dim sum at Royal Garden in the Ala Moana Hotel at 11:30. Turned out closer to 12:30 after finding parking at a packed Ala Moana. The new Nordstrom’s parking structure has tons of covered parking, so if you’re willing to walk a bit, save some time and head straight there. While at the Ala Moana Hotel, saw quite a few attendees of the Comic Convention(?) walking around dressed up in some outlandish outfits.
The new Nordstrom’s area is impressive. A little different feel from the rest of Ala Moana since it was designed new, not just retrofitted from the existing mall spaces. Lots more stores added and the relocated Williams Somoma is huge. I didn’t go inside the new Nordstrom but did get a Mexican Mocha from their eBar.
