Mitchie and Meliss: October 2009

These are in no particular order at all! Infact most of these pictures at the beginning are from the end of our trip to Oahu. I had been to Pearl Harbor along with my parents but Mitch hadnt ever seen it so we decided to take the tour again. I am so glad that we did! I had forgotten about what a special, spiritual place that was

Here are my parents inside of the memorial monument. They have build this white memorial building on top of the sunken ship that you can see in the water that still has men inside.

One of the days my parents decided to go and look for a waterfall but I hadnt had my feel of shopping yet so we went to the Alamona Shopping Center where I found this!

This is Hunama Bay. Such a great place to go snorkeling. The water was extremely choppy and so I didnt love it as much as I had remembered from last time but we still had a great time.

I love my phone!

Who is that cute man? Oh, I like the view from our hotel room as well! That is linda behind Mitch who had the room next to us. She is on her balcony.

Can you believe this picture! If you knew how huge those waves were you wouldnt believe it. On the North Shore we were able to see beach after beach with the most incredible waves and half pipes! I guess it was extremely early to be having water that was that intense. Normally the waves are like this in Jan and Feb.

Here is my pop at Hunama Bay

Sorry, skipping around again! More waves at the North Shore beach

I had to take a picture of our drink at the Polynesian cultural center. They were so beautiful but looked like they might be quite easy to make.

Out of no where it started to rain, not sprinkle! It was a downpour! We found a little hut to take cover for a few minutes until the rain stopped.

At 2:00 they put on a water show where every country is represented. Very interesting!

Yummy Plumeria plant!

Mitch and I were trying to take a picture with the little mans had in the background. I am not sure what the official name of that mini mini island is but it sure is cute!

Doesnt that look like a turtle?

More of the china man hat? I think that is what they called it!

Nice hat Mitchell

These mountains were so incredible! This was the wet side of the island and everything was so green and beautiful despite their drout that they are going through

This was at the Macadamia Nut Farm. We were able to crack the shells and eat fresh Macadamia nuts! They were so yummy! Not sure why more places dont sell the Macadamia nut in the shell. That was the only place that I had seen that had them in the shell.

Our neighbor had mentioned that we needed to eat at Dukes. They had the best salad bar! We actually ended up eating there twice

Aloha Stadium Swap Meet (notice the weather! Everyday it rained for a little bit but then was beautiful)

After a while you realize that almost everyone is selling the same stuff!

My dad and Mitch decided to get their teeth whitened while we got our shopping party on.

Dole Plantation!

My mom and dad in the gardens at Dole

This was in front of our hotel right on Kapauhuhuliililiuhh street. HAHA Just kidding! I have no clue what road we were on. That is pretty much how my mom pronounced it everytime we drove on that road though. After a while you realize that all of the street signs have K's P's U's L's I's .... we were in Waikiki

We had bought so much junk while we were in Hawaii. They have this really great Macadamia nut cookie so Mitch decided to share with the birds. We had quite a few little friends on our deck eating these awesome cookies! I hope that they loved them as much as we did!

Sunset from our hotel room

These stores are everywhere! I dont know what we would have done without the ABC store while we were in Waikiki! They have everything that you could possibly want.
