If you're looking for all things Hawaii (and local) in Seattle, this is a good place to find it. From aloha shirts and lei to poi, Portuguese sausage, li hing mui, mochi crunch, chocolate mac nuts, and Kauai Kookies, the store has all the creature comforts of home. The ambiance of the store reminds me of a cross between Hilo Hattie and a local grocery store. Some good stuff here!

Classic design from T&C Surf Designs! I remember having this shirt YEARS ago! One of my all time favorites.

Here's a view of downtown Honolulu I've not seen before in real life. This shot was taken from Sand Island State Park, across Honolulu Harbor, with my iPhone. You can see Aloha Tower on the left. So peaceful and beautiful from this vantage point. Fireworks must look amazing from here on Fourth of July and New Year's Eve.

My wife's uncle has the most bountiful backyard. Today we raided his lychee tree...with his permission of course. The fruit is so sweet and the seed inside is tiny. Locals in Hawaii know this is a good situation. Yum! Time to go eat some now...

Taking a break from the Honolulu Family Fun Fair to watch the boats come into Ala Wai Boat Harbor. Beautiful day.

Friends brought over this chocolate haupia from Yama's Fish Market and it's the most sinful dessert I've tasted in a while. Rich, dark chocolate, coconut, deccadent, goodness. Never had this before! My new favorite dessert right now. Oh yeah, the sweet potato haupia pie was good too! ;-) Highly recommend you give this a try!

Enjoying a great assortment of cheeses and prosciutto from Whole Foods. Nice start to a Fourth of July BBQ!

If you look closely you can see the winding stairs that make its way up the Koolau Mountain's windward side. This trail is known as Stairway to Heaven and last I heard it's closed. I did the hike once with my friend years ago. He said it was 1,000 steps. It turned out being 3,000. One of the most difficult climbs I've done, but the panoramic view of windward Oahu from the top is amazing! This photo was taken on the H3 Freeway.

Just devoured the most delicious odin, tempura, and sushi combo ($17) at Tadashi. There was a fourth sushi that didn't make the photo...cuz it's in my belly! ;-)
