Koko Crater, the Macadamia Nut Farm, and Feeling a Little Lost

Koko Crater, the Macadamia Nut Farm, and Feeling a Little Lost

We drove down to hike up Diamond Head but the parking lot was full, so instead we opted for Koko Crater which we heard was the second best hike. However, it was much steeper and tougher of a hike than we anticipated.

Koko Crater

It was used during WWII as a radar facility with a tram that went up. The view was beautiful- overlooking Waikiki and Hanuama Bay.

Then we traveled back up the coast stopping at a few overlooks along the way.

Macadamia Nut Farm

We stopped by this cool Macadamia Nut Farm and bought toffee covered nuts, caramel covered nuts, and some jelly. So yummy!!

Feeling a Little Lost

Another rain storm hit and we were a little worn out so we voted for a kickbutt “Lost” marathon so we could see all the places we have visited. We watched the 1st 7 episodes in a row and it was so cool! You know that Buddhist temple we went to last Sunday? That’s where Jin and Suns engagement was filmed. So cool!

Only drawback was I guess it was a little scary for Alayna. She woke up crying with a terrible nightmare that there were all these dead people and we made them into jelly and put them into the back of our van! How awful! Sometimes, I am not a good parent…
