Immediately after a briefing with top security aides, President Barack Obama and first-lady Michelle left their Kailua vacation home around 6:30am for day two of their early morning workout. An hour later they returned.
Outside of their secured street, protesters began to gather. On one side, a dozen people held signs that read "Stop the War in Afghanistan".
"I think the war has gotta stop, it's illegal, it's immoral and it's wrong," said protester, CJ Jung.
"We think it's a good thing that if Obama sees us standing here and knows that even when he's on vacation in Kailua there are people who oppose the war," said Liz Rees, protester.
Across the street another group also gathered.
"We're here to protest against abortion," said Gwen Seely, protester.
The Seely's and their 11-month old daughter Regan joined a handful of others in the protest.
"Trying to help our children and hold people accountable for their actions," said Eric Seely, protester. "And when you're making public decision you open yourself up to hearing the message from all those concerned."
While both protests were calm, they did catch the attention of many drivers. Almost too well...
"Screech, slam and then all the neighbors came out to see what happened," said Kailua resident Suzanne Sutherland.
"I don't know what the right venue for that is if it's the street corners where he drives by if that's appropriate or for them to call their Senators and get their voices heard that way."
While there was excitement outside of his home, President Obama decided to continue his Hawaiian Holiday. Taking in a picturesque round of golf at Kaneohe's Klipper course at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
The 18-hole course is described as a "golfers paradise". The President played a round with four friends, three of them from Hawaii.
After golf, President Obama stopped at Pyramid Rock Beach which is on base, before returning to his vacation rental in Kailua.
