My last post of our Hawaiian vacation.
Here are random places we went to:
Goodwill. My favorite place anywhere I go. Bought a baby Hawaiian dress and a child size jinbei. Can’t get that at our Goodwill.
Local library 2x. Another favorite place anywhere we go. We walked a couple of nice beaches and view…
Continuing our food tour:
Koko Head Cafe. Recommended by Johnson who did not get to go when he was in Hawaii but wish he did. They are known for their french style creamy eggs and fusion everything. I like Hawaii for it’s cultural diversity, and Asian food is not “Asian food”, it’s just food. This…
More food in Hawaii that we ate:
The first poke and more poke. Our first stop after we landed was Costco. I’ve heard so much about poke at Costco that I had to try. Live and learn, it was not good poke. And it wasn’t cheap compared to what we had later.
Here are the foods we experienced on Oahu:
Leornard’s malasada 3x. We were told this is a must have. I agree. It’s worth it. I was so excited to stumble upon their mobile truck, only to find that they only offer 3 flavors – custard, chocolate, and coconut. The special flavors are only in their full bakery. I settled for one coconut malasada, but the lady must’ve sensed my disappointment. When we opened our bag, we found 2 malasadas! That’s Hawaiian hospitality, it made my day. I have to think of a way to pay it forward.
July 7, 2013 Saturday – Las Vegas & Home
We’ve come full circle and our last stop is back to Las Vegas in time for a late lunch.
Foodnetwork took us to The Egg & I featured on Rachael Ray. I had the pesto with eggs. Muffins were delicious! 4.5 stars.
July 6, 2013 Saturday – Zion National Park
Walked along a couple of hiking trails while our more fit friends did Angel’s Landing. I’m content to enjoy the beautiful sceneries with a nice stroll and a relaxing lunch at the Zion Lodge Red Rock Grill.
We ended our Zion visit with the 6:30pm tour on…
July 4, 2013 Thursday – La Caille
If you think La Caille looks like a Thomas Kincaid painting, you are right. It is a beautiful venue for a wedding with swans and peacocks and everything picturesque.
The temperature cooled to 90F in the late afternoon, and though we were sitting in the sun for the…
July 4, 2013 Thursday – Draper, Utah
Thank you for coming along with me on my vacation. These blog posts are dragging on and on…
Finally we are here in Draper, Utah, the reason why we are on this road trip.
July 4 is the date of the wedding of our good friends. I’ve known…
July 3, 2013 Wednesday – continued
We had planned our vacation to attend Wednesday evening worship at Calvary Chapel Salt Lake City. I always like to go to church when we’re on vacation. It’s a chance to worship in a different setting with different people. I enjoy meeting others in Christ. We carefully chose this church to attend because the time and place is right to pick up our daughter afterward from the airport to join us for the rest of the road trip.
July 3, 2013 Wednesday – Temple Square
The Temple Square is the Mecca of Mormonism. Anything you want to know about Mormonism you can find it in Temple Square, in any language you want. We saw docents in just about every major language – their name tags show the flag of the country of the language they speak.
