{germaine's luau}

Aloha! (Hello!) Okay, confession time. Although I've lived most of my life in Hawaii, I had never attended an actual luau. As a kama'aina (local resident), we consider luaus to be more "touristy" than anything else. But since I was playing tourist with Kiki/Mike/Fam, I got to attend my first "official" luau.

So what exactly is a luau? Well, a luau is translated to mean "Hawaiian Feast." And feast we did. It was a total feast for our eyes, as well as for our 'opu (tummies). Germaine's Luau definitely set the bar on any luau-ing I may do in the future. 'Elua (two) thumbs up!

E komo mai! (Welcome!)








Taking the pig out of the imu.

{50th State Fair}

Saturday night, the beginning of one of the busiest weekends that I've had in a long time. With MH still M.I.A., busy = good. Lil' J, Miki (Mike & Kiki), and I moseyed on over to the state fair for amusement park rides and good eats.

To tell you the truth, I think I'm turning into an old fogey (yikes!). So sad, but true. The rides were scarier than I remembered, and I even got whiplash from the bumper cars. Despite that we had a very good time! We ate huli huli chicken, won some carnival prizes, and even saw (my other bff) Mari & her hunnybuns. The best part of the night (in my opinion) was the now infamous lightsaber battle between "Luke Skywalker" (J) & "Darth Vader" (Mike). Crazy boys! How did it end? Well, good triumphed over evil of course!! What a way to cap off another fun night! :)
