Kualoa Ranch--where Jurassic park was filmed
Kualoa Ranch (canoe plant with leaves that stick like Velcro)

The amazing farms on the ranch
Looks like a scene from Jurassic World, right?
What mom had to deal with the whole trip
Noni fruit. It is supposed to be good for you, but it smells like vomit.
Jurassic World film site
50 First Dates restaurant is behind me
We got to crack our own macadamia nuts, but since I was allergic, I fed them to the chicken
Kualoa Ranch (yes, where Jurassic World, 50 First Dates & a lot of other shows/ movies were filmed.)
The motorcycle from Jurassic World
Yummy Huli Huli Chicken near Kualoa Ranch. Delicious!!
In front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village
At Morimoto's Asia in Waikiki. . .for a world class iron chef, it was super disappointing. This was the assorted dim sum.
The roast duck was decent, but the house fried rice was flavorless and the pad thai was just average
A chocolate sphere that they lit on fire with alcohol to melt. It was definitely the highlight. Vanilla diplomat cream, chocolate mochi cake, chocolate ice cream, candied macadamia nuts, fresh berries
The Hilton Hawaiian Village at night
Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail. Dad said it was a light 2.5 mile walk and was handicapped accessible. He didn't mention it was straight up hill the whole way. Mom copped out about 1.5 miles in mumbling about the worst hike ever and only handicapped accessible for wheelchair Olympians.
To top it off, the trail to the actual lighthouse was closed. Ugh.
This was as close as you could get. . .not worth the crazy hard hike!
