1 We started the vacation off right in Oahu with one of the most touristy things you can possibly do- visit the temple of everything and anything pineapple

4 Billy was having railroad flashbacks as we boarded the Pineapple Express. He was going to ask if it was named after the same strain that the movie was, but I don't think the smiling attendants would have been amused.

13 After the Dole Plantation, we headed up to the North Shore to peruse the lunch options at food truck central in Haleiwa

16 Thursday night was our first time having dinner at The Pig & Lady. It's been one of our faves for lunch ever since it opened, but dinner was a whole new experience. Yes, please, we'll have one of everything on the menu!

17 The drink menu was all new, except for the Cobra Commander which they've been serving up since day one

19 So, we're sitting there trying to decide what to order and plates of wings keep passing by us to eager tables. We think, well wings are wings, right? But there must be something going on, so we order the most incredible plate of wings we've ever had, with a peanut and kaffir lime glaze, crispy shallots, and lots of unidentifiable goodness. Worth the trip just for these.

Diving
North Shore diving was out of the question this trip because the road past Hanalei was still shutdown from the massive flood damage and landslides a month…
