At the time I was on my way back to San Diego from Korea, Jesse and his family were making a trip out to Hawaii to visit Mel and Bliss, the people we stayed at the first time we were in Hawaii this year. I decided that since it was on the way, I might as well make a stop and join them! I had not slept in over 24 hours when I met up with Bliss and Marie (Jesse's mom) at the Honolulu Airport.
Dole Plantation
We spent an afternoon at the Dole Plantation, one of Oahu's biggest tourist attractions. We did not do the maze, which I now regret after seeing it on the travel channel..next time for sure.
Definitely thought that pineapples grew in trees..
Dole Whips!
Diamond Head
On 4th of July morning, we started out the day by hiking Diamond Head, the world's most famous volcanic crater. It was a nice climb and had the most gorgeous view at the top!

Unfortunately the view wasn't very good....

Polynesian Cultural Center
Mel and Bliss took us all out to the other side of the Island, to the Polynesian Cultural Center, where we spent the day watching shows, canoeing through the manmade rainforest, and partaking in an authentic Luau!
The pit that the pig was roasted in.
Life in Hawaii
Lunch at a shrimp truck
Waikiki!
Not a bad place to have a "stopover" if you ask me :)
