Mike and Hannah visit

Cousin Hannah visited with her husband Mike. We picked them up in Waikiki, showed them the Obama sites in Honolulu and then went through Mililani up to Haleiwa. Outside of Wahiawa we stopped at the Dole Plantation Store. Mike and Hannah learned how pineapples grow. We then had lunch at Kua Aina with shave ice desserts at Aoki's. The sour apple syrup with any other flavor is a great treat. Jim had vanilla ice cream at the bottom of his cone and Mike had adzuki beans. Most tourists choose Matsumoto's Shave Ice but Aoki's has shorter lines, less crowds and the ever-favorite sour apple flavor. We highly recommend it. Then we stopped at Laniakea Beach to see the resting turtles. Here are some photos. See if you can spot the two turtles. The conservation group, Malama ka Honu, had signs out showing the turtles' numbers and their nicknames. These two were Punahele and Hiwahiwa.
