Traci's Visit, Part II

On Sunday, we were able to relax, go to church, and spend the evening with the Kinoshitas (our family who live in Kaneohe). After a delicious dinner, we were able to talk everyone into gathering in the Kinoshita's living room and watching the one-hour special episode of Hannah Montana. It was the one where she revealed herself as Miley Stewart and I just couldn't miss it! I'm proud to admit that I love Hannah Montana; it's hilarious. And everyone else in the room thoroughly enjoyed it too, or at least that's what they said.

On Monday, we hit the beaches, but only after we stopped at the malasada truck for breakfast. Malasadas are a Portuguese donut: no hole. They are deep-fried, covered in sugar, and if you want, filled with bavarian cream, chocolate cream, or haupia (coconut milk) cream. Yum!(Normally I would've waited to take the picture until that guy moved out of the way, but he matched the truck so I actually thought he was a nice touch)

Waimanalo.

The blowhole.

Hanauma Bay. Snorkeling.

On the way home, we hit up the famous Kahuku shrimp trucks.Their shrimp scampi is definitely the most delicious seafood you'll ever eat.The shrimp are raised in ponds surrounding the shrimp trucks, so they are very fresh and very yummy.

And we stopped to see the temple all lit up at night.

I forgot to mention that the first morning of Traci's trip, we drove out to Ted's and got an entire chocolate haupia cream pie and a carrot cake; just so we could have them in the fridge to eat whenever we wanted. We'll do this when you come too. It's a must.

It was great to have Traci here. She has a better knowledge of Hawaii than we do, so she showed us everything we'll need to show you when you all come to visit.

Can't wait for February when Traci comes again; for food fest, right Tra?
