Aloha and Mahalo!

 Happy Times in Hawaii!
Aloha! Fresh off the plane.

Pork Look Fun (that's the real name of the dish) in Chinatown

Happy baby in her cage

Someone likes Waikiki!

Dole Pineapple gardens

The plantation as I remembered it had definitely changed (all downsized and touristed up)

Sailing past Waikiki

And Diamond Head

Gorgeous beaches and scenery

Love those cliffs between these two

And this is what our family would look like if we had waited longer to have kids!

The sand bore a passing resemblance to graham cracker crumbs, apparently


Cora was game for everything, and loved splashing her toes in Turtle Bay

Polynesian Cultural Center

 
River Parade

My sister worked here when she spent a semester at BYU Hawaii

Learning about Samoan culture

Luau!

Such delicious food

Live music and fire-dancing

A night we're not going to forget anytime soon!

Sunrise hike to Diamond Head

Aloha, Hawaii! If you hang your lei on a tree, you're sure to return one day.
