Thanksgiving in Hawaii

This week we kicked off what is sure to be an epic month with a visit to O’ahu, celebrating with Max while Cait is deployed.  Yesterday he led us up the Diamond Head Crater and we had clear skies for a great view of Honolulu. We definitely earned the fresh poke bowls and Howzit hazy's we treated ourselves to afterward, and it was worth every stair!

Some cuties we met at the top.

Post-hike lunch and brews.


He hosted friendsgiving on Wednesday night and made an amazing Beef Wellington, then we had our least traditional Thanksgiving yet - we took turkey sandwiches to the beach and watched a bunch of honus (some gorgeous, very large green sea turtles) floating in the surf. On our way home from the beach, the Dole Plantation was surprisingly open(and incredibly busy), so we stopped in for some fresh Dolewhip and a short wander around their garden.
