Moanalua Gardens

A friend told Carrie about these gardens and since she had never been there she decided that would be a good outing for the day.  She packed up some peanut butter sandwiches and off we went.  The place is really full of Monkey Pod trees one of which is used for Hitachi advertising.   Actually, we might have been the only non-Japenese family in the park and everyone was trying to get a picture of the tree.   We tried but the pictures certainly do not do it justice so I decided to cheat.  http://www.hitachi.com/hitachitree/en/profile/
This is the summer home of some Hawaiian King.   Looked like they were trying to restore it.  Men were working there on Saturday no less.
A pond full of ducks and Koi which the kids loved.
The climbing area was a big hit too.

A Summer Evening Drive

A couple nights ago our neighbor (Sandra) came knocking on our door and asked if we'd like to go out for a ride in "The Chevy"...
