Five For Friday

Aloha friends! It's Friday and I am linking up with Kacey for her Five For Friday linky.


I am enjoying my Spring Break and have been doing all of my favorite things.



This is one of my favorite surf spots. Diamond Head is in Waikiki and I was able to surf here 3 days in a row.  The water was crystal clear and it was not crowded with tourists like most spots in Waikiki.


My oldest daughter turned 11 on Monday!!  


We celebrated with dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, yummy!!


Hawaiian Blogger Meet Up with Angelia from Extra Special Teaching and Nicole
from Teaching With Style!!  We had lots of fun having cocktails and chatting it up
at a little place called Tiki's in Waikiki.

Finally a family vacation is not complete until you do at least one touristy thing and buy
that cheesy picture that they offer!!

  5. Looks like you had a lot of fun on your Spring Break! I can't believe you know how to surf. It seams so impossible to me! I just spent my spring break (the week before last) on Kauai!
    Thanks for sharing,

  6. Do you think my husband should try to surf where you did at Diamond Head? Or should he stick to somewhere else with his long board. Can't wait for our mini-vacation down in Waikiki next week!

    1. If he doesn't mind crowds Waikiki is fine. Otherwise Diamond head is just up the street from the zoo.
