It’s all about those malasadas! Had to make an obligatory stop at @leonardsbakeryhawaii for their famous malasadas. We’re not “filling” people so we had original, cinnamon, and li hing. It definitely makes a difference if you eat it fresh and piping hot.… https://t.co/jiZ4w3DTls

Perfect time to visit Waikiki Beach - when there are barely any people 😜 We had such a beautiful view while eating dessert, listening to live music coupled with the waves of the ocean, and digging our feet the cool, fine sand. What a way to experienc… https://t.co/b1aXbHWEnX

Had a nice stroll around Waikiki as we made our way to the beach. So glad we found out about parking at @intlmktplace . Just buy $10 worth of items (we got drinks and snacks at the Japanese store) for validation for free/discounted parking!

When my daughter is on a mission to try all kinds of boba/bubble tea, we have to support her, right?! She also liked this statement but instead, “Quality PEOPLE take time. We appreciate your patience” 😅😝😬 @teapressobarhawaii

After a fun time at the beach, the clouds rolled in and we had to seek shelter in the car. At least we had some tasty and juicy chicken from @mauimikeschicken . Love how they offer various dipping sauces to pair with the meat! (FYI the teriyaki sauce is … https://t.co/I8Dy6T5s9O

Finally got out the swimming and snorkel gear (and I had a LOT)! The water temp was perfect, the sand was super fine, and the areas to see fish weren’t too far from the shore. Such a fab day! (FYI, parking in Lanikai is restricted to certain times/days r… https://t.co/LlTPuErlfo

We’re so in love with these green eggs and ham from @joja.hawaii that we’re chasing them around the island to get another taste! These are gluten-free and dairy-frees as the eggs sit atop hash browns. So, so delicious! Munchkin is also a fan of the Mochi… https://t.co/RoBfzFxgJP

The first proper sunset we saw while in the island. It was so beautiful that I need to share at least two more photos of it with you. ☺️🌅

North Shore + cheesecake = @tedsbakeryhi ! The Chocolate Haupia Cream Pie and Pineapple Macadamia Nut Cheesecake were so yummy! These were NOT gluten free so Frans had to sit this dessert session out. 😅

A day trip to North Shore wouldn't be complete without trying @giovannisshrimptruck at least once. Frans and Munchkin enjoyed their garlic scampi plates despite the messiness of having to peel each shrimp. Other food trucks here offer things like Korean … https://t.co/drWxQPevft

Can't believe we discovered this gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan yumminess at @banan ! Their frozen treats are made from bananas and it makes for a (mostly) guilt-free dessert. There's also one in Waikiki but we haven't tried that location yet.

Explored @hoomaluhiabotanicalgarden to see some local nature and to get some nice photos. But, we forgot the bug spray 🦟🤦🏻‍♀️ So glad we were able to still see quite a bit from the car. FYI, there are signs posted all along the most Instagram-famous spot… https://t.co/IW1tipPy14

Tried some Vietnamese-style food at @piggysmallshawaii . We had the Grilled Sweet Sausage Summer Rolls to start, minus the crispy egg roll wrapper. Then, we dug into our noodles without even taking any photos 😳 BÚN MĂNG VIT for me since I can't take … https://t.co/nu6U3QpAoF
