Leftover Pictures From Hawaii

We have a few random pictures from Hawaii that didn't make their way into a post. Most of them involve food, so I guess a post on food is warranted. The majority of the time we were camping, so our diet consisted of apples, bananas, peanut butter, and nutella from the grocery store. We also frequented North Shore Tacos near our campground. But when we stayed at Brian and Becky's house and had access to a kitchen we took full advantage of it. Before they arrived we managed to make tacos and lasagna. The next weekend we had the chance to use Brian and Becky as guinea pigs for a Thai meal consisting of lemongrass ginger iced tea, papaya salad, and massaman curry. We don't have any pictures to prove it, but it was a success. I'm sure we'll be trying another Thai meal soon. 

Trying a peanut butter stout. We were very happy to return to the wide variety of craft beer in the United States. 

Hawaii has many places to get delicious Acai Bowls, a Brazilian influence

You can't leave Hawaii without trying Hawaiian Shave Ice. We tried Island Snow (which President Obama has frequented) and had a shaved ice with passion orange, strawberry, and mango flavors.  

It wasn't hard to approve of Paniolos, the Hawaii version of Qdoba, Chipolte, or Pancheros

And, the one leftover photo remaining that doesn't involve food. We took some Christmas pictures for Brian and Becky on the beach and stumbled across this awesome sand castle. Brandon sneakily snapped this picture when I was admiring the beach views.
