another hawaiian adventure....

we stopped at the dole plantation, it was a little disappointing, there were no pineapple in the bushes to look at.

welcome to haleiwa, a small surf town on the north shore, it was a pretty tiny town, but really neat to explore.

The Vans triple crown is going on right now in Haliewa, but unfortunately today the waves were only like 1 to 3 feet tall, so no competition today, or at all this week according to a guy who was walking there.

Standings so far, not much competition left until the finals....

small back road adventure we went on that took us into the middle of nowhere, but we explored the town completely.

Cool looking surf shop

Rules for visiting the sea turtles on the beach...unfortunately too many people did not follow the rules it seemed.

A sea turtle up on the beach just relaxing in the sand.
 
The red rope is the boundry you have to stay out of. The lady on the right side had a book that she was trying to find out what kind of sea turtle it was, as there are a large variety of sea turtles.

mmmm mcdonalds outside the polynesian center....it was an alright lunch stop.

no trip is complete without a stop at this beautiful park across from kualoa ranch. very picture perfect.
