Taking a little drive...

Today was spent touring the island to visit some old neighbourhoods from when I was a little keiki. We headed into Mililani Town to find our old house and then on to my Gramma Manandic's house where I spent so many happy days. We even passed my elementary school where I started Kindergarten.


Wow! It's amazing how the memories come flooding back to you when you revisit certain locations. We just let the road lead us until we wanted to stop and watch the surf.


Head right through the middle of a mountain tunnel; Jackson wanted to go back and do it again and again.


Or hang out with the pineapples, feed the fish, watch the plantation train & eat Daddy's favourite icy treat.


Scott & Jackson had their first taste of authentic local flavours from L&L Drive In Restaurant. Mixed Plate Special & BBQ Plate with the customary two scoops of rice and 1 scoop of macaroni salad. Yummy!
We really wanted to stop for the 'best shaved ice on the island' but were full from all the other great tastes of the locals that it will have to wait until another day...

I love the photo of Jackson's little head poking through the pineapple! You guys look like you are having a great time. Good for you for taking this trip!
