I'ao Valley & Pie

Today we ventured out of Lahaina not quite sure where we were going. We thought we would go to see the crater but when Waze said it would take 3 hours to get get to we ditched that plan. We drove around aimlessly but then we realized we were near I'ao Valley, a placed I had booked marked as cool to go to. I really didn't we would have time to visit but since we were in the area we decided to check it out. It turned out to be really awesome and the perfect activity to fill the time slot we had for this morning. With beautiful views and fun dips in a creek it's a perfect spot to spend an hour or two. The first thing we did was climb the steps to the top. We were rewarded with this pretty view. After looking around and taking a few pictures we started to wander around other pathways. We found a pathway that was along a creek. We found a few places that you could get in an swim. Of course, Penny wanted to go in so Dad helped her amongst the rocks but she soon found out the water was cold! Unlike the ocean. We meet a family from Hawaii who was nice enough to share some toys but Penny didn't stay in too long. We found a second spot and again Penny investigated but we didn't stay too long.
After the second dip we had seen pretty much everything. There was one more pathway to discover but there was a sign that said the path was closed. We were out of time anyway so we hopped in our car. Of course, the first thing out of Penny's mouth was "I'm Hun-gee." I spied a McD's so we stopped to get her a hamburger and fries. She loved it and devoured the sandwich quickly. She quickly feel asleep and by the time we got back to the Lahaina area she was sleeping. Hubs and I took that as our cue to get some lunch ourselves so we stopped at Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop which was located next to the Olowalu General Store. Everything looked so good it was hard to know what to order. I got a spicy tuna sandwich on homemade bread and hubs got a chicken pot pie that had a ton of veggies in it. We gobbled everything up and washed it down with the best homemade ice tea which they served in the cutest bottles. When we came in we spied the pie display and who can take a look at that without ordering? Not us. We got a Peanut Butter Pie and a Chocolate Macadamia Nut Creme Pie. Both more delicious than the next. When Penny woke up at the hotel she was quick to find the pie box and finish off the Chocolate Pie. Definitely, a place to put on our return to list for the next trip.
We got back to the hotel around 1pm and we did a bit of resting before we started having to get ready for the wedding.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Random Thoughts as the Weekend Closes

Today I got a friend request from my mother-in-law. Will she embrace the FaceBook? We wait and see. Technology is cool...I got to speak to my friend in Hong Kong today. The BlindSide is a really heartwarming and good movie. I didn't know what to expect. I saw Sandra in blond hair and I thought cheesy. Now I can't decide whether I want her or Meryl to win the Oscar. Cats are really nice creatures. I haven't really had much exposure to one before. I especially like the fact that you can hold them like babies. I wonder if I stole Mr. Chuckles if anyone would notice? hum. Bartenders blowing fire makes for an interesting drink at the bar. Plantains are better when they come with your meal and not as an appetizer. I met a man who wanted to see Leap Year. Krueger continues to take jobs that suck ass and take up her precious time. Sorry CougarTown screwed ur day up Krugs. We missed u at the movies today. Ever since I got Mo I have meet the most interesting people ...

Time Is Flying

Man, back in September and October, I thought time was going by so slowly but now that we are in November and half way through it, it seems like time is flying once again. Maybe that has a little bit to do with me being a lady of leisure these days. My doctor put me on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy. I went into his office all stressed out over the situation at work in early November and he said "this Friday, November 4th, will be your last day." I was like "Excuse me?" Doc put me on disability because stress is bad for the gestational diabetes I already have and for the apparent high blood pressure reading I had that day and some of my tests indicated I was at risk for pre-eclampsia. My new job, is to go to the hospital for neonatal stress tests, twice a week, on Monday's and Thursday's with a weekly OBGYN appointment on Thursday's after my hospital appointment. Throw in some eye doctor appointments with an eye specialist (apparen...
