Condo with a View

On Saturday afternoon (3/12), Yoon picked us up and we went to Costco to pick up food for her BBQ and found Wasabi Doritos!

We were a little worried about buying such a gigantic bag but it ended up being a huge hit at Yoon’s BBQ.

That evening, we went to Yoon’s new condo and got a fantastic view of Honolulu and then spent the evening poolside. A bunch of her friends came over and we grubbed on steak, poke, hot sausage, Yoon’s stir-fried noodles, and pineapple.

There was a hot tub at the end of the pool and then we hung out upstairs in her condo with leftovers and beer.

Check out all the slippas in the kitchen. That’s how you know you’re in Hawaii!

So much to eat…

OK…I know, it’s been almost a week since we returned from Hawaii and I’m overdue for a recap. I spent yesterday afternoon going through all the photos I took and they’re finally done. It’s amazing that we go to the same place every year and I still manage to end up with over 150 photos uploaded…and those are only the ones I decided to process!

In this post, I’m going to recap the morning that we went to the KCC Farmer’s Market on Saturday (3/12). There was so much to see and eat that it deserves its own post.

On Saturday morning, I went for an early-morning run and ate some yogurt since I knew Jes would be sleeping in that day.

While I was out by the water, I saw a pod of whales breaching and spouting out in the distance. Too bad I didn’t have my lens…no photo to prove it. Sorry.

When he finally woke, he was starving and I was ready to visit the Farmer’s Market that I had been reading about on my Twitter feed. Nowadays, it doesn’t really sell very much produce – or maybe I wasn’t paying attention. Instead, it’s become a collection of street food stands. Yes!

We took the bus to the Kapi’olani Community College (across from the entrance to Diamond Head Crater) where on Saturdays they hold a quite a foodfest. Check out what we ate:
