Dole Plantation
On Saturday, we ventured North again to the Dole Plantation. It was a lovely drive, and a lovely day for some time in the World’s Largest Maze, the Plantation Garden, and on the Pineapple Express. We also had some yummy food in the cafe. Abby couldn’t handle the entire Maze, so Bridget, Abby and I sat around the gift shop area and waited for the boys to complete all eight paths. Abby decided to try out her lungs a few times but decided that it was better to be quiet than to wait in the van all alone while we finished our visit.
After the Plantation, we visited Shark’s Cove, where we got rained on. After realizing that Shark’s Cove is not fun without reef shoes, we headed over to Waimea Bay and enjoyed the large waves throwing our bodies up onto the beach.
BTW: you may want to sit back and watch the movie from a distance or it may make you dizzy. Think of Cloverfield.
In October 2004 I took the boys to the Dole Plantation alone. It was raining. By that part of the trip my “vacation voice” was long gone. To get through it, we cheated and blasted through hedges. Then at the end we went to get a treat for our troubles and they wouldn’t take anything but cash…argh, foiled again. Oh well, at least I can say that we’ve been there.
