Funtastic KidZone: A Kid’s Wonderland in the Middle of a Huge Shopping Mall

| Hawaii Activities

Until this past December, I hadn’t stepped foot in the Pearlridge Shopping Center for years. Now I think I might make it a monthly occurrence thanks to the Funtastic KidZone. But first…. my previous allure: the monorail When I was a little kid, one of my favorite places to visit was the Pearlridge Center. Why? […]

Located on the first floor of the Ewa tower, the Pau Hana Room is right across the bridge from the Waikolohe Stream and close to one of the main spots for Disney Character Meet and Greets. DVD Rentals, […]

A couple of days after we returned home from our extended weekend stay at Aulani I asked my five-year-old daughter, “what is the number one thing people should do if they stay at Aulani?” Without hesitation, she said it was her makeover at Painted Sky (Disney’s Hawaiian take on their beloved Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique). I […]

I am a huge afternoon tea fan. Huge. I try to sneak in an afternoon tea session any chance I get. The tea service at Tea at 1024 is one of the best places I’ve visited. So, if you come to the islands and want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of […]

Cause we’re rotten… to the core.
💞 La Vie 💞
A couples weeks ago we made it to the opening night of Orchids at the @halekulanihotel . I wanted to bring Em but was worried about what would happen if we were greeted with a tasting menu only option. While the waiter said their preference was for guests to order off of the tasting menu, they also were providing many of the dishes a la cart as well, which was perfect for Em to slowly eat her way through while the rest of the party had the tasting menu.
Happy national daughter’s day to all the daughters out there, but especially to my partner in crime this summer as we spent our lazy Saturday afternoons trying out various restaurants as ladies who lunch. @ruscellohawaii ended up being my daughter’s favorite spot and she begged us to go back over and over again. Between the views (from their outside dining area), the crayons and activity book menu, and a delicious take on one of her favorites (mac and cheese), it was a clear winner in her book. And any place where I can get good food, great service and a happy child-dining partner is a clear win in my book as well.
There was a media event when @restaurant_av first opened that a bunch of IG accounts I follow attended and posted about. The mouth watering pictures they posted on IG were still in my mind a couple hours later when my husband asked me “where do you want to go to celebrate your birthday?” Excitedly, I threw out the name #avrestaurant . He made the reservations but proceeded on teasing me for the next two weeks about how I, lover of all things meat and cheese, was going to celebrate my birthday at an all-vegan tasting menu restaurant. As we drove to dinner last night, I threw the question back at my husband of where he wanted to eat for his birthday. He named a bunch of steak restaurants as potential options. I jokingly said, “maybe we should hold off deciding until we try AV. You never know… you may pick it for your dinner.” He laughed and gave a jokingly “sure… we’ll see.”
Never forget. ❤️🇺🇸❤️
