Hawaii 2013 - The Last 2 days

After another day at the conference, I met up with my family for some cocktails and lunch at the beach at Dukes. A favorite.

You can't beat this view while sipping on some tropical drinks.

Our sweet little girl wanted to wear her Hawaiian dress her daddy bought her again. While walking around and shopping a little, Daddy was asked how long he's been in Hawaii. He told the guy a week. He was surprised because his hapa daughter looked like a local girl and so did her mama. Ever time I  go to Hawaii, people think I am a local. So our family fit in just nicely. The ironic thing is that I have no family connections to Hawaii, but Daddy does. Yup, my white husband has family history in Hawaii. Two generations of his family lived on Oahu. His great, great grandfather and great grandfather were the editors of the Honolulu Advertiser back in the day. His grandmother grew up in Hawaii and left for the mainland for college and stayed on the mainland because of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

We enjoyed dinner that evening at Benihana's and mama was too cheap to actually buy the photo.

Our final day on the island we decided to head back to the North Shore, right where we started to enjoy the beach and sun. On the way we stopped for Hulu Hulu chicken. This place is only open on the weekends and boy was that some good chicken.

We found a nice quiet spot on Sunset Beach. Our favorite beach on Oahu.

After a beautiful day at the beach, we two rainbows on our drive back to the hotel. What a fitting way to end our beautiful Hawaiian vacation. As lil J observed at the early part of our vacation, "There are pineapple everywhere. Hawaii is all about pineapples and rainbows." Indeed it is.
