Hawaii Vacation, Part 5

 We enjoyed our time aboard the Pride of America ship. Here are a few miscellaneous pictures from our time there.

I sure do love these two!

Our cabin had a butler to attend to it which was super nice. Peter kept our fridge stocked with waters and coke produces which we appreciated. We also loved coming back in each day to see the little treats he'd left for us to enjoy.





Our room steward made some adorable towel animals for us too which were always fun to see.

We can't resist the arcade! We always love they plucky ducky game while Mia had fun racing.
The girls and I had some basketball competition and some galaxy air hockey tournaments. So much fun!
Very cool Hawaiian flag display on the boat.
They had a 50's diner that was open 24/7 which we really enjoyed. I especially loved the POG (passionfruit, orange, guava) milkshake. It was so delicious, and my mouth waters now just thinking about it!
We enjoyed two dinners at the specialty restaurants onboard. First was the Brazilian steakhouse which is always a treat. We decided to try something new this time, so we went with Tappenyaki, a hibachi restaurant. Our chef was quite funny which always adds to the enjoyment. The food was pretty good too; we all ate happily. There were two dessert choices, and I went with the rainbow fruit assortment which is pictured here. I love fresh fruit! I was unsure of the pink on the end, so I ate it all at once...yeah, it was picked ginger!

We disembarked in Oahu on Saturday morning, and we had about 5 hours to before we needed to be at the airport. We had decided to rent a car just to explore the island a bit which was definitely the right call. After getting the car we hightailed it over to Leonards for more fresh malasadas. So yummy!

Ryan and the girls drove me to some of the beautiful places they saw on their photography tour day. I'm so glad I got to see these too!


We stopped for lunch too which was so yummy.
Finally it was time to check in and head on back home.
What a fantastic trip; I love making memories like these with my family!
