Aloha Gas Station


Yes, this gas station is really called Aloha...And yes, gas is really $3.33 a gallon there...It's the price you pay to live in Paradise !!

Night out in Waikiki !!


We enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Red Lobster with our very good friends Peter and Gigi Won...We hadn't seen each other in years and we had the best time playing catch up and enjoying each other's company...It was great to be able to spend lots of time with these wonderful people who open up their hearts to us always !! We love you Gigi and Peter !!

Josh at the Blowhole !!



Josh enjoyed watching the Blowhole waiting for the big waves to spout water..The day was very windy and rough, a lot of big waves..

Blowhole Lookout Point !



This lookout point is a great place to stop and watch the blowhole..When the huge waves come into the rocks it goes under and the force creates a blowhole..It's a great sight..Of course nobody listens to the sign that says " Danger ! Do not go beyond this wall..My family included !! " It's a pretty good cliff over that...

Blowhole Lookout Point !


This lookout point is very popular with the tourist especially the Japanese tourists. We got out to take pictures and all of a sudden I see John taking the opportunity to take pictures with the Japanese tourists..Then Dylan and Shane got into the picture too...The Japanese girls were very flattered and of course John did his best "hai doozo" impersonation !! That's John E...haha...

The Beach at Makapu'u !



Over on the windward side of the island is a beautiful beach called Makapu'u..It is frequented by the locals for bodysurfing..The beautiful coastline is mesmarizing and this was our route everyday into town...

Kim Chee Restaurant



In the town of Kaimuki there is a great Korean restaurant called Kim Chee II..You have your choice of Kalbi beef, teriyaki chicken and every korean delicacy you can imagine..and it's topped off by lots of kim chee..Yum..We took my dad there to celebrate Father's Day..My dad is pictured with the boys and I am pictured with my sister Patti..
