Even the trio of babies having a crying contest throughout our entire 5-hour flight couldn’t break my aloha spirit (they really tried, though!).<\/p>\n\n\n

We stumbled upon the greatest food truck ever in a Walgreen’s parking lot (@ Leonard’s Bakery Malasada Truck<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"leonard's<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

I’ve had malasadas in LA before, but they don’t even compare to the pillowy deliciousness that is Leonard’s. This was my most favorite thing I ate during the entire trip… even better than the garlic butter shrimp we waited two hours for at Romy’s<\/a>! The mango gummy bears from Lin’s Hawaiian Snacks<\/a> were a very close second.<\/p>\n\n\n

The scenic drive up the coast to North Shore was such a welcome contrast to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. It felt like we were in Kauai<\/a> again!<\/p>\n\n\n

I tasted the Obama rainbow and it was presidential AF (@ Waiola Shave Ice<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n

It’s a well known fact that drinks taste better when served inside a pineapple (@ Diamond Head State Monument<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pops went parasailing for the first time at 67-years-young (@ Xtreme Parasail<\/a>). Pammie rode tandem, while I just came along for the boat ride and the shirtless captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"prince<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hawaii is three hours behind LA, yet I still never woke up early enough to see the sunrise! Ha. I did catch this sweet sunset every night, though (@ Prince Waikiki<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did you even go to the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet<\/a> if you didn’t leave with a karate kid drum???<\/p>\n\n\n\n
