Dole Plantation Train Ride

We went to the Dole Plantation last weekend (not this past weekend, the one before). We went with the neighbors, and it was fun. Not your every day activity. Colette and Gavin have been playing with the neighbor's little girl, Lili, every chance they get.

Here they are:

The first thing we did at the Dole Plantation was eat. We were all hungry! I tried a local dish called loco moco. It consists of fried egg, a hamburger patty, white rice, and brown gravy. it wasn't bad, just pretty bland and kind of boring. But I tried something new. I didn't get any pictures of us eating, because, well, we were hungry.

After we ate lunch, we went for a ride on the Pineapple Express. It is a train that takes you on a tour of part of the plantation, with a narrative of the history and some tidbits about the place and pineapples.

Some pictures of us on the train:

We were almost back to the train depot when our luck kicked in: the train went off the tracks. Everyone had to get off the train and walk back to the depot. It did allow for some good picture opportunities, though.
