Oahu North Shore

We had a great day yesterday experiencing the famous North Shore of Oahu. First we headed straight for the tasty “Shrimp Shacks” for lunch. I was really craving an Acai Bowl after Stefan (This weekends groom) turned me on to them this week. On to get off subject be an Acai bowl is the new health treat in Hawaii. The Acai [asaˈi] berry bares from the Acai Palm found in South American flood plains. The dish is prepared by blending apple juice, Acai berries, maybe yogurt(?), then mixed with granola, finally topped with fresh chunks of strawberries and bananas, WOW! So yummy! I’ll promise to blog a photo of an Acai bowl this week.

Back to the North Shore… After the Shrimp Shack we went to “Sharks Cove”, proper name: Pupukea Beach Park. This place was great for the kids, it had giant tide pools about 1-2 feet deep for them to snorkel. They saw all kinds of marine life, Elijah even caught a crab. Evie found some nice sea glass too. Mikey and I when snorkeling in the main cove which was really great.

Next we went to Matsumoto’s Grocery for “Shave Ice” (See Previous Post about Shave Ice) Then we backtracked slightly to a beach trying to catch a glimpse of a sea turtle for the kids. We sure lucked out! Stay tuned for photos from Sunday’s wedding.
