Makapu’u Lighthouse, Sandy’s, Cinamons…

February 1st, 2008 · 10 Comments · Uncategorized

I have taken lots and lots of pictures of this lighthouse from Sea Life Park, and from the Makapuu Lookout, but never from so close. The “hike” was scheduled for 9 am, so we dropped Jordan off at Momma Deborah’s house at 8 am and made our way to the trail parking lot. We were there at 8:40 and had some time to sit and chat, it was so nice. I also set the camera on the dashboard and used the remote to get a shot of us together! Once all of Troy’s coworkers showed up we made our way up the path. Now although I have previously sold this as a hike, i will have to tell you after doing it, it really was only a walk on a paved walkway. just my kind of walk if you ask me. there were guard rails in the areas where there needed to be guard rails, and I enjoyed a good workout. Troy carried the camera backpack, and I carried the camera. We were allowed to go right up next to the lighthouse, it was super super cool.






this is my picture of the day. hard choice, there were so many that I liked:
we also made a little drive down the road to the Halona Blow hole and Sandy’s. It was an overcast but beautiful day.



after all of the excitement… we went to the best breakfast place on the island. It’s called Cinamon’s, in Kailua. My High School Classmate’s family owns the restaurant and they make the best eggs benedict, home fries, and guava chiffon pancakes ever. and the coffee is good too! and lots of seating, friendly staff… better than boots and kimos.

OH! and on a scrapbooking note, I was mentioned on Erin Lincoln’s blog for the CK weekly recap. She liked the paint pallette! YAY! I always love reading erin’s blog, but it’s just frosting (and a scoop of ice cream) when I get mentioned. :)
