It was definitely a day to remember, Michael! Thanks for stopping by.<BR/><BR/>O-P: And thank YOU for stopping by here!! <BR/><BR/>Mad: It wasn't Masumoto's shave ice but it was pretty close! I had a mango smoothie and loved it. BUT I have to say that your macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom, shave ice with cherry syrup topped with sweetened condensed milk sounds like the epitome of after-Diamond-Head pleasure! :) AND I have a feeling our traveling feet have crossed paths more than once at different places around the world/States!<BR/><BR/>Judy: You have climbed DH through me! I did it for you AND for me! I know you would not be able to do it now, so I'm glad you saw it through my eyes...and Nicholas'. And you are so right. Maybe we'll just have to make it back to Honolulu every year...or at least every other year...for a celebration!Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-55532318468745745522008-06-12T05:14:00.000+02:002008-06-12T05:14:00.000+02:00Ginnie, Thank you for sharing this very special t...Ginnie, Thank you for sharing this very special time with all of us. As always - I love your photos and the story they tell. Can't believe as many times as I've been to Honolulu I've never done this - but now I feel like I have.

There's nothing like hawaiian shave ice. I like it with macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom, shave ice with cherry syrup topped with sweetened condensed milk. I'd definitely need that strenuous hike to work that off! But in my 3 trips to Honolulu, I've never hiked up Diamond Head. One of the times, for my high school graduation, I stayed at the Waikiki Sheraton! It doesn't surprise me that our traveling feet would cross the same paths!madretzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773461029643334609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-18121203549176082152008-06-10T07:09:00.000+02:002008-06-10T07:09:00.000+02:00l'endroit a l'air magnifique...et le garçon bien g...l'endroit a l'air magnifique...et le garçon bien gourmand!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-23106332097907268182008-06-09T17:24:00.000+02:002008-06-09T17:24:00.000+02:00That looks like the perfect day for a Grandma and ...That looks like the perfect day for a Grandma and Grandson.

I recommend it!<BR/><BR/>Amy: It was one of my best memories with him to date! He was so sweet and was constantly reaching out his hand to aid me whenever he thought I might need help. SO SWEET!
