favorite things about Hawaii part 2

In Florida, we have snowcones. In Louisiana, they have snowballs. In Hawaii, they have shave ice. These three items are NOT the same.
We had heard that the BEST shave ice on Oahu could be found at the North Shore.... so off we went to find out. TRUE STORY. The Volcom Store shave ice stand has the *old school* crank ice shaver which provides superior shave ice. 
North Shore shave ice - CHECK!
Stay tuned for more photos of our Hawaiin adventure.

We're home from Hawaii! Words cannot describe how much we LOVED it there. We spent 2 weeks exploring the island of Oahu and doing our best to immerse ourselves into the culture. The North Shore is home to Laniakea Beach (aka Turtle Beach). This little gem is famous for epic surf and daily visits from green sea turtles. We loved this experience so much, we visited two times. Little man was in heaven (our fam *really* digs sea turtles). He ran around taking photos at various angles and even captured a shot of one turtle yawning! Photo momma wasn't ready and missed it. He was SO excited, he shouted... "I got it" and received praise from other onlookers. Photo momma was proud :) I will post his image later... as it surely deserves it's own post!

Will post more about our amazing vacation soon! STILL trying to get back into the EST groove.

Aloha!
