Wow, what a wonderful day.  Started out with morning photos outside the Aulani Resort.  

Then the family and I drove around Oahu Island of Hawaii visiting the sites.   Our first stop was the Dole Plantation..Awesome.. The Pineapple Express, Garden and Maze are the adventures we did.   Also we had a great treat, Dole Whip.. Awesome and yummy..    The Dole PlantationThe Dole Plantation

Secondly we drove into Haleiwa, a small town on the North Shore.  We walked around and ate at Uncle Bo's Grill.  Great food and the service was awesome. I definitely would eat there again.  I recommend Bo's Burger..  The family throwing out the "SHAKA" and riding the waves in Haleiwea.The family throwing out the "SHAKA" and riding the waves in Haleiwea.

From there we made our way to Waimea Valley, we tried going to the beach there, but were not successful in finding a parking stop..  The surf look pretty big though.  Instead we went into the Valley and visited the Waimea Falls.   This is a 3/4 mile hike through a beautiful tropical forest.  There is an admission to get in, but it is definitely worth it.  You can even swim at the base of the falls, however, we didn't realize it until we there and didn't bring our swimsuits.  Oh well, the colorful views and gorgeous trees are worth every penny.
