| We surprised Mom at the airport. She new Leslee and Shelley were coming, but didn't know about Martissa and me! I've always wanted a real flower lei! |
 |
| Saturday we took out a pontoon boat to a sandbar and could walk in the middle of the ocean. It was pretty amazing! |
 | |||
| We took a quick tour of the Dole Pineapple Plantation and had a pineapple whip for a treat! yum! |
 |
| We visited the sea turtles sun bathing on the beach. They had a friend keeping people back so this is as close as we could get. |
 |
| We listen to Dad's Ukulele skills and received a lesson! |
 |
| Ate world famous Shave Ice from Motsimoto's! Yumm! I got Strawberry/ Pina Colada with ice cream on the bottom and sweet condensed milk on top! |
 |
| Spent time (but NOT enough time) at the PCC. I loved the canoe parade with all the different islands doing their dance. |
 |
| Visited the Macadamia nut farm. It is tricky to crack a macadamia nut with a rock and get it out whole! |
 |
| Back to the PCC for dinner. |
 |
| We didn't get to attend a luau, but I couldn't miss seeing them take the pig out of the pit! |
 |
| Everyone ready for dinner! Mom and Dad just got off their shift. |
 |
| We ate dinner at the Prime Dining restaurant. Those crab legs were yummy! |
 |
| After Leslee and Shelley were off to the airport, Martissa and I still had several hours to kill before our overnight flight so we went out to the USS Arizona Memorial. It had a really neat museum that we walked through. It was pretty amazing! |

| Then we took an adventurous drive on the Tantalus loop. We got a great view of Diamond Head and Waikiki. After the loop we went and drove around Diamond Head. |
What a great trip report of a .... great (yummy) trip. How wonderful for your folks to have this time with their girls. Hey... pretty nice mission.
ReplyDeleteStefanie - Thank you for the pictorial view of your trip. Your parents look fantastic in their Hawaiian garb. What a special trip. Nice trip for the sisters. You really packed in the activities. I'm not sure if it is because it is 100 degrees right now in Los Angeles - but your cool treats look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSO Jealous. Why did you not invite me? The sandbar looked pretty cool. I also LOVED the shot of the pig. So great.
ReplyDeleteOh it looks like you had a marvelous time. I can say that all the places you went to are remarkable but I bet the highlight of the trip was the people you were with.
ReplyDeleteGood gracious, you were able to fit SO much into those 5 days! Oh that looked like a marvelous trip. I love the photo documentation!
