Zach and I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2005 in Hawai'i. On Christmas Eve, we took Mingxiao on a trip around Oahu to see various parts of the island that she had never seen before. Our goal was to see if we could catch a glimpse of the visiting Humpback whales and maybe some sea turtles. Unfortunately we saw neither but we did catch some really cool waves on the North Shore. Man! Ok I'm not a surfer but I definitely see the appeal. Waves reached at least 20ft and made a booming noise when they crashed. We even stopped by the Dole Plantation so I could get my pineapple float fix. Oh man is that good. Cold pineapple juice with pineapple ice cream. Dang it! Now I want one!
Zach and I made Christmas dinner on Christmas eve repleat with baked ham, green bean cassarole, macaroni and cheese, Hawaiian King rolls, and cranberry sauce. On Christmas Day, we went to a party at Anna's house where we stuffed ourselves on turkey, ham, Jim Bean flavored yams and other goodies. Thanks to Anna for inviting us and for letting us hang out with her and her family.
