La's Birthday Fun

I took off work for La's Birthday and we had a blast!!! First part was spent up on the North Shore having breakfast (La's favorite meal of the day) at one of her favorite breakfast spots - Cafe Haleiwa. After that we were going to go snorkeling at Shark's Cove, but there was a swell in and the water was a bit too rough - so we visited the turtle basking spot at Laniakea Beach. The second part of the day was spent over in the Kailua area running an errand and grabbing some real malasadas Right across from the Portuguese Bakery was a knitting-crochet-Christmas store. And they had a cool coconut pirate. This place was pretty cool (and not just because they had coconut pirates). The Birthday itself may have ended shortly after this, but the Birthday Weekend continues in the next posts!!!

For those in the know....

This place has the best dough -

Malasadas from da aina.

La freaks out for these, and then within minutes goes "BLAH"

then she is good for another several months.

Despite all that buildup, anti-climactic downfall and wonderment - she loves these hawaiian-portuguese doughnuts!
