The color of Green!!!

Last summer was the first summer I planted veggies and we hit the jackpot when it came to tomatoes but for some reason nothing else did well.  
So when it came to plant again this year, I planted the following

3 tomato plants
1 squash
2 cucumber
3 basil
1 Oregano

We love gazpacho so that is why we did the cucumbers this year.

At first I was not optimistic but over the last two weeks it is amazing...
The plans are starting to take over my backyard!
So far we have a couple of cucumber that are almost ready to be picked
Squash that needs a couple for days, and lots of green tomatoes!

 





The herbs are also out of control =0)
Home made basil will be added to my list of recipes I will be trying

Day 6th

After the best day ever,  I was on a high which continued on our 6th day.  We decided to sleep in because we did not get back from the Luau the previous night until midnight.  So we woke up worked out, had an early lunch and decided to do some shopping for a couple of little gifts I had to get people. 

We then headed to Black Rock, another beach in Ka'appalia and saw an amazing sea turtle while snorkeling. 
It was bigger than Joe!!
So cool!!!!

That night we decided to end our trip with a dinner at Mama's Fish House for our anniversary. 
We always do something for our anniversary, each year we have a nice dinner
Napa- Anjela
Greece- Dinner Cruise
So Hawaii was Mama's.  



Mama's is in Paia and is world renown for their food. 

We were seated next to Joakin Noah at dinner, who Joe immediately recognized while I was completely clueless other than that fact he was two of me tall.  
To say the food was excellent would be an understatement. 




  Lobster Crab Guacamole

 Joe had the Fish
 I had the Fish Stew

 Chocolate Pearl for dessert!

Happy Last Night in Hawaii!
