From the Hoosier State to the Aloha State
Look what I found walking to the beach last week. A Hoosier boat!
Gunstock Ranch
Today, we went on a field trip to Gunstock Ranch on the North Shore for fall break. We had a blast hiking, watching the kids swim and leading them around on the horses!
The pregnant goat that LOVED us!

Sandy Beach Park
On Monday, I decided to take the long way to work and drive around the East side of the island. It is quite possibly the prettiest drive on Oahu and I was due for traveling that way and enjoying the phenomenal views. On my way there, I stopped at Sandy Beach Park. It’s a big bodyboarding beach so I stopped to check out the people taking in the waves. The surf break is pretty powerful and I would never get in, but it was great to watch people who know what they are doing against the strong current ride the waves!
Conquering My Fear
At the end of October I will work on conquering one of my biggest fears: the ocean. I am set to get my scuba certification in three quick days. Gear has been purchased (so I can practice and get comfortable with it). Fingers crossed I don’t panic!
Rainbow Drive-In
On Sunday, I forced Josh to go to Rainbow Drive-In with me to finally try a loco moco. I was pleasantly surprised…it was actually pretty good, but I wouldn’t want to eat more than a few bites. It was very filling!
A rainbow over Rainbow Drive-In!

Corner Kitchen
On Saturday night, Josh and I ventured to Corner Kitchen. I had purchased a groupon a couple months ago and it was about to expire. With the reviews I had read, I set my expectations pretty low. However, the food was amazing! We had wonderful sushi and their special platter. Definitely will be going back!
Poi Dog Platter: Kal-Bi, Crispy Crunchy Ribs and Karaage Chicken.
911 HELP: California roll topped with spicy tuna drizzled with sriracha.
Hawaiian Big Eye: Spicy tuna and cucumber topped with ahi, avocado, ponzu and sweet chili.
Dole Plantation
On Saturday, Josh and I visited the Dole Plantation. It was one of those things that I felt like we needed to do since we live here, but we avoided because it is a tourist trap. We wandered around the “World’s Largest Maze” for a little bit and got the Dole Pineapple whip ice cream. After that, I felt like we covered it!
