MAC 24/7...again

An all liquid meal. My mouth has NOT been wired shut. Yesterday, after hotel pool time, beach time (it was across the street!), morning trip to Starbucks, and hotel lanai relaxing, we went to MAC 24/7 for a late brunch-ish meal. We met up with Mai Ly, Rob, and Arwen. Since we both delayed our hotel check-out time, ordering the ridiculously HUGE stack of pancakes they are famous for was out of the question. We were all left to our own ordering devices. Vine ripened tomato soup with grilled cheese. And for starters, pineapple dreamsicle shake. Yummy. At least the soup and milkshake were.
I was less than satisfied with the grilled cheese. An entree that consists of two ingredients: bread and cheese, would make you think it wasn't hard to screw up. The thing is, I'm just not a fan of croutons for my bread. They over toasted what I think was stale bread. Therefore, I was left to dip my hard as a rock sandwich in my soup and hope for the best. Even the moisture from the soup didn't help matters much. When you eat out as much as it appears (I have finally realized it is an excessive amount) we do, you are bound to have some hits and some misses. This meal was both hit and miss. If all soup were as tasty as this tomato soup, I might be constantly blogging about soup instead of pizza. If all grilled cheese sandwiches were this sad, I might never eat again. Luckily I'm not in danger of starving anytime soon. I made do with the soup and milkshake. And despite the lackluster sandwich...I still ate it...
ALL.

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...

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?

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...
