Pineapple Fun!

It’s definitely touristy, but a fun stop!

Pineapple is a strange and delicious fruit.

There is a garden that shows how pineapple grows. We learned a lot. Most interesting- all pineapple grows from the top of a picked pineapple plant. They root the top after they harvest the fruit and plant it again! We might have to try it at home 

Mini pineapples are kind of cute!

It’s tradition

We started this because my sister collects flat pennies. Now we do too.

Victory ice cream is delicious!

Pineapple soft serve with pineapple chunks.

The World’s Largest Hedge Maze

At the Dole pineapple plantation.

We challenged the kids- last one to find all eight stops buys ice cream.

We met the kids at one spot.

To show that you have been to each stop you put your card in and trace the shape.

We took selfies at each stop to prove that we were there!

Parents won by 2 min. Kids finished in 34 min, parents  in 32.

What a fun way to win ice cream!

Turtle Bay

A beautiful volcanic stretch on the north shore. It’s easy to see how the lava flowed here. There are several peaceful coves with calm water. Apparently in the winter the waves here are huge!

Aloha Seafood

Alix has become our restaurant navigator. She loves using the map app to find places, read the reviews, and decide if we should stop. This one didn’t look like much but got 5-star ratings with a ton of reviews. We had two different types of shrimp and they were both amazing!

The chickens are everywhere! This one was eagerly awaiting our crumbs.
