The Pink House

I'm waiting for the zoom feature on my iPhone camera. These "unzoomed" photos, of a possible venue for our 10th anniversary party, will have to do. Thanks to Lehua who emailed me the link to this beach charmed place. Thanks to Mai Ly who rode with me after our morning walk this morning (5.8 miles), to scope it out. It was tranquil. It is the perfect size. It is Portlock (I was hoping to get a glimpse of Josh Holloway). It has beach access. It has mountain views. It seems just about perfect. It is a pink house though. I guess I can't complain...I was born in a pink hospital. I'm thinking--- "White Wedding...at the Pink House". I've been scouring the Internet all day looking at the competition. So far, there are only a few others in the running...let's cross our fingers this place is available. I have an email into the property manager...I'll keep you posted.

I thought of you when Mai and I were there scoping it out...I think this is right up your alley! The vibe is romantic, old, sweet.

I think my old bosses sister got married there a couple years ago. They said it was fabulous! They hired a valet company to deal with the parking issue. I like the pink! It will complement the Guava dress you liked at David's Bridal! :)

Yes, we will have to do something as far as the parking situation...Mai Ly went to a party there too and said they had a "shuttle". Either way...I'm happy to hear more good reviews of this place!

Mililani Exploration: Kipapa Stream Trail

Image
Learn something new everyday. Today, I learned there is a lovely neighborhood park in walking distance from my house...and a fabulous hiking trail just behind that!  Today we were finally able to go on a hike---without driving (well, sort of...more on that later). We simply geared up, walked out of our house and to a trail we'd never explored before. Adventure Saturday! Today's hike was 2.2 miles (one way) on a partially old paved road, winding around the back woods of Mililani, down to Kipapa Stream, back up to...Costco in Waipio. Say what? We truly had not planned on arriving on the oustskirts of a farm that is directly across from our local Costco. Hiking truly lands you in the most unexpected places.   Along our route we encountered dirt bikers, a small band of pre-teen scooter riders, a couple of farm hands in a truck, a very intimidating junkyard dog, zero other hikers, and a friendly Starbucks Barista.  That's right, after our Saturday surprise hiking adventure, we f

Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail

Lost in Paradise is how I would describe yesterday's beach/forest trail that led us past crabs climbing on rocks, mongoose dashing across the trail, horses around the stables, a lone Pillbox, and finally to an iconic Banyan Tree famous for recurring roles in the television series "Lost" and an appearance in "Pirates of the Caribbean". My mother-in-law was on island visiting for a week, so Marina, Sarah, and I took her on a hiking adventure...followed up by a thirst quenching Bacon Basil Bloody Mary.  I have previously explored trails with my mother-in-law.  We have trekked through mud and mosquitos at Manoa Falls, walked up a windy Makapu'u, huffed up Hau'ula Loop, strolled the North Shore's Waimea Falls and Kahuku Point.  So, this visit was no different.  We found ourselves hiking pals again for two separate trails this trip, the Turtle Bay "LOST" Trail being the best of the two. This trail begins in the far corner of the Turt

Shameless Plug...

I'm in love with this new outfit of Zach's. Okay, outfit might be stretching it...onesie. I have to share. As usual, the picture is sub standard, but if you click here , you can go to the website where other cuteness can be found. Better pictures there. I guess that's why I don't get paid the big bucks, I can spread the word, but my advertising photo skills are lacking. No matter. Still a cute onesie. And still a cute baby. Thanks to my mommy friend Summer for sharing this rocking onesie with us. We love it. Consider this the thank you note?
