The North Shore

We headed to the North Shore for the weekend and had nice stay in Papaya Hale in Laie. We had cheese and wine and played ukuleles by the beach.  The next morning we had a delicious breakfast at Hukilau cafe.

Loco Moco

Then we went on the awesomest tour ever - the Movie tour to see where Jurassic Park was filmed! We also got beautiful views of the valley and beaches and learned some Hawaiian history and culture.

Mai Tai's on the beach at Turtle Bay

We had a great time at Lucy's Race in Hale'iwa.  She did a great job of steering!

Driving back we saw the pineapple fields, which I'm still confused about...

Oahu!

Day Two, First Stop: Diamond Head Grill for the beeeeeeeeest scones ever- blueberry or banana and cream cheese scones.... yum!  We also picked up picnic supplies so we could spend the day at....... Haunama Bay!

After waiting in line and watching a wierd video, we walked down to the bay and did some snorkeling, had lunch, and got some sun.

Next we went for a little roadtrip up the East coast (I think) and stopped at the Blow Hole along the beach. Oh and the beach where some movie was shot.

We couldn't go to Hawaii without getting Shave Ice so we stopped at the one in the back of a surf shop.  It was good but mine was just toooooo sweet....

Went for a swim at another beach and headed back to Waikiki

The next day was rather stormy and rainy so we went to the Bishop Museum where we saw a lot of cool stuff about Hawaiin culture and geography. Also there was an exhibit on dinosaurs! and Chris rode down a lava tube!

Honolulu!

First things first, lunch at Duke's on the beach and a mai tai...
