Traveling with the Grobmyers March 6, 2024 Day 8

First thing this morning Joe was on our patio and caught the sand Zamboni out smoothing the beach.

 We had a few places we wanted to try and find today. One is on all the must do list when you visit, so of course we had to do that.

We drove out to Leonard’s Bakery. Home of the famous malasadas. Malasadas are a Portuguese doughnut with no hole. You can get them filled with different fillings or rolled in just sugar or cinnamon and sugar. We got a couple of filled ones, guava, coconut and vanilla. The filling is almost like a pudding. They are best eaten hot and that makes the filling a little sloppy. In fact I had to run back to the hotel to change because I had a filling mishap. But it was so worth it.






I found a quilt shop.



Very small shop, but I had an interesting conversation about football with him.

Then we drove out to the Disney Aulani resort to check it out and have lunch. The resort is on the west side of the island and we had not been to that side before. It is known as the dryer side of the island and some of the fields look like they belong out in the western United States. It is a lot less crowded on the west side as well and seems a little more laid back. We found the resort and in true Disney fashion they did not leave a detail out.















We saw a few of our friends there as well.





The resort had some of the best landscaping we have seen since we have been here.












Joe wanted me to share his ahi tuna he had for lunch. He said it was really good.


Joe found a train that he would like to come back and ride.


We saw a sign for Seagull School. We could just picture a school where they teach seagulls to dive bomb people and steal their food. We had to find the school. We liked our idea better.


I found another quilt shop on our way back to the hotel.




The chickens of the day.



 I’m not sure what will be in tap for tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t rain tomorrow. We had showers off and on this afternoon.
