Hello Kitty Cruiser Bike

And here is the culprit...the pain in my knee...the bike, not Isom. The boys have been riding bikes, and for some reason have been wanting me to tag along on these daily adventures. I am usually all for something that involves sitting. I agreed to participate if I could pick my bike. I chose the lovely pictured, Hello Kitty bike. It is for an adult. It is pink. It has a bell. It has a big, comfy seat. Yesterday, we set out on our first and last family bike ride. Okay, maybe not really the last, but ugh, my legs were sore during and after. And now today too. Have I mentioned? I'm super thrilled with how cute my bike is. Isom claims I look really cute on it too (I'm not so sure about this). I am not thrilled, however, about feeling old. There's Gabe (and for the most part, Isom too) cruising up hill after hill after hill with NO TROUBLE, no labored breathing, no sweat whatsoever. I am completely jealous. I may have to ride during the day to get practiced up, and then in the evenings, maybe I'll be able to keep up. At least I didn't fall over...yet.

Hey, I was wondering if you have an info on your bike. I had the same kind but it was stolen and I just wanted to make sure I got all the facts and things. Like do you know the model of the bike? Or when it came out? If not thanks for your help.

Pali Notches: Cloudy, Muddy, Windy, and Scary

Image
Last week I added a "notch" in my hiking/climbing belt...Pali Notches.  Here's my disclaimer: I'm not responsible for your decision to do this hike.  If you are afraid of heights, not comfortable climbing, unprepared for changing weather conditions...don't do it!  When in doubt, don't go out applies for this hike.  That being said...last week I did the scariest hike I've ever done...and I survived! If you have followed my blog for awhile, you will know that the past year my blog has been regularly dedicated to my weekly hiking adventures.  A new hike, a new post.  But, before my hiking obsession, there was a cupcake baking obsession.  A new recipe, a new post.  Clearly I'm passionate about specific things and like to share it on my blog, lucky you.  During the cupcake phase, my sporty behavior pretty much consisted of couch surfing.  So, to be hiking an average of four times a week and eating zero cupcakes...well, I've come a long way.

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

Image
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
