Wahiawa, Oahu, Hawaii
As I was sitting and taking photos of my feet, a man walked by, he was making a video and speaking, I heard him say, ‘and this lady is taking photos of her feet, COOL, I am going to have to do that!’ How inspiring I can be! ☺️ And, in the perfect place, I put my feet up and RELAXED at Dole Plantation!

We always enjoy visiting Dole Plantation, this time we took the train ride and went thru the maze. We had so much fun! This photo was the view from the train and in the maze we divided up into 3 teams. We would have won except we missed one of the stations and had to go back and find it! The kids loved it! We of course, topped it off with a Pineapple Float, well, we started with it, to give us energy!

This Hawaiian Green Turtle was fun to photograph. Here he came up for air, because sea turtles are mammals, they breath air like humans do, so they have to come up from time to time to get air. Having said that, they can stay under the water for a lot longer than we can!

Whenever we go to Oahu we always go to the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) if nothing else to support them for the great work they do! They not only share their cultures with us, they give scholarships to the students at Brigham Young University Hawaii, allowing them to work at the PCC and earn money for their education. What a great thing! Now, I haven’t even mentioned the shows, the delicious food and of course, the fantastic night show! We had a grand time!

The other day I was at ‘My Lagoon’ relaxing as I read a book. I noticed some people had followed me to ‘My Lagoon’, they stayed around for a while and then they left, but they didn’t leave the way they came. They climbed up some rocks, about 15′ high and then walked across the top of them, turned a corner and disappeared. Some time ago, I had seen some other people do this, so I decided that this time I would follow them. Up I went and carefully I walked across the rocks and as I turned the corner I was surprised at what I saw, a secret beach, (which I have since found out the locals call it) that is beautiful! Yesterday, I took my family there and for most of the time, we were the only people on this beach, it is now known to us as ‘Nonni’s Beach’. Oh, by the way the snorkeling is great!

There is an area at Sea Life Park where there are all types of birds, they are gorgeous with their bright colors! You can go in and feed them, take photos of them or just RELAX with them! I chose the latter and slowly sat on this bench, put my feet up and RELAXED! I got a bit nervous as a bunch of them took off because someone was coming towards us!

Sea Life Park was the perfect place to go. Their setting, close to the ocean was a perfect back drop for photos. It wasn’t too big so we were able to get to a number of their shows. My favorite was the Dolphins! I ❤️ DOLPHINS! There is something about their gentleness and grace that is so fun and cute!

On our way to Sea Life we went thru the mountains and saw some beautiful scenery! I knew we were going to be able to see The Haiku Stairs or Stairway to Heaven, so I had my camera ready and I got a couple great shots! These stairs are a steep hiking trail with 3,922 steps, but because of damage on the stairs, they are dangerous to use and someone can receive a fine if they do so!
