Travellin': Las Vegas

Every year, my family and I take our trip to...Las Vegas.
After you've been to a destination a handful of times, you think you've seen it all. Yet Las Vegas always has something new going on. Always. New casinos, new hotels, new attractions, new shows. 

Here is a glimpse at some of the things we did:

well of course I had to take a pic with this beauty.

My sister and I found the secret pizza spot in the Cosmopolitan.

And she loved it so much she went back for seconds.

Love, love, loooooooove the Cosmo decor.

Inside Crystals.

Eye-catching stairwell

Bellagio atrium


Chihuly ceiling in the Bellagio. My absolute favorite installation.

World's Largest Chocolate Fountain!

view from our hotel...complete with the light beam from the Luxor hotel.

Travellin': Heading North (and West)

Working plenty of overtime was frying my brain, and I definitely needed a break. So I decided to take the day off and play tourist!


First up: Giovanni's Shrimp Truck in Haleiwa
Don't mind the graffiti covered van: they're cooking heaven inside!
The original and best! Shrimp Scampi. With a can of Passion Orange to hit da spot!

If you're lucky like me, you'll bring along someone to shell all the shrimp for you! :)

Next up: Dole Plantation
Home of the World's Largest Maze. 
(But it was too darn hot to conquer that, so I'll save it for another day)

Many different types of pineapple species in the garden.
The green pond.
Filled with koi! For 25 cents you can feed them. And boy do they look hungry!
There are also many photo-op stations, as you can see I am taking full advantage of it!

The train! For $8 you get to ride the train and hear all about the plantation's history.

Dole Plantation
64-1550 Kamehameha Highway
Wahiawa, HI 96786

And ended the day out west at Brick Oven Pizza!

BBQ Wings
Chef Salad with Chicken
The UltiMEAT Pizza. With italian sausage, portuguese sausage, smoked ham, pepperoni, lean beef, salami and bacon!


Brick Oven Pizza
885 Kamokila Blvd
Kapolei, HI 96707

All in all, I'd say that was well deserved...and a great start to the weekend!
