Watchale...it's Cinco de Mayo


















Finding good Mexican food in Hawaii is near impossible...correction, it is impossible. Since I always rant to my co-workers about it, I figured I'd grace them with some authentic Mexi treats. I made enchiladas, spanish rice, beans and brought in all the fixin's. Needless, to say it was a BIG hit. I'm on a very restricted diet so I just watched as they devoured the goodies. I could of gone for a big ol' margarita though...double tall, rocks, salt, splash of cran...mmm.





It's gonna be a Funging good time...

Hanauma Bay

Hawaii was graced with the cupcake princess' presence! Fu and Jaymee came out for Mindy's wedding and I was able to hang out when work wasn't getting in the way. I love it when visitors come...kinda gets lonely out here on this rock 3000 miles away.

I picked them up from the airport and got them all checked in to the Marriott on the beach...I got them a local discount...the room was awesome...I was a little envious :)

I took the day off work so we could go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay...what an adventure. The weather wsan't the most cooperative but we decided to check it out anyways. I wish my underwater camera hadn't leaked because I would have gotten some priceless pics...you know what I'm talking about Fu. The images are forever ingrained in my brain...Fu thrashing around in about 2 feet of water and then practicing for a spot on my competitive snorkeling team :) Afterward, we indulged in some cupcake goodness from Cake Couture...peanut butter and jelly cupcakes...mmmm. Then it was time for Cheeseburger in Paradise with lava flows, then it was Nobu (waaay overrated) for dinner to see a cute waiter/scooter.

Their last day came way too fast...we floated around on our most awesome floaties, had lunch with more lava flows, had our floaties stolen, bought more floaties, got to see the parallel parker dance moves, made a pit stop for some coconut syrup and hurricane popcorn and voila off to the airport.

It's always so sad when visitors leave :( Had fun girls!!!
