At a mere three months into the game, my husband and I are the quintessential newlyweds. We still talk about about our fabulous wedding day, we still love looking at our photos, and we still have wedding paraphernalia sitting in (not-so-neat) piles in the corners of our house. However, as newbies to the game of marriage, what we're enjoying above all else is the return of that wonderful thing called FREE TIME.For all of you brides that are knee-deep in wedding magazines and suffering from headaches brought on by out-of-control wedding budgets, there WILL come a day when you have FREE TIME again. For now, my dear brides-to-be, keep your chins up and I'll remind you of all the fun things that are waiting for you on the other side!
Last night, we met some friends over at Jazz Minds Art & Cafe. This cool little hangout tucked away on bustling Kapiolani Boulevard is the perfect spot to watch some of Hawaii's best young jazz musicians. We got to hear the Randy Wheeler Quartet blasting some "live groove underground New York jazz" last night while we ate and drank and bopped our heads to the music. Though a little pricey, the bar food was tasty - we opted for steak strips and black and blue ahi. And if you're not into stuffy jazz clubs with tiny little cocktail tables, Jazz Minds is the exact opposite. Weekends bring more of an urban, funk vibe to the place and in lieu of hard wooden chairs, you'll find cushy loveseats and overstuffed chairs that swivel round and round. Get comfortable and settle in for the night!
