Pineapple Heaven

While in Hawaii we got to have all the freshest pineapple we wanted as part of breakfast every morning!  Incredible!!  To make our pineapple experience richer we took a visit to the Dole Plantation.

Riding on the Pineapple Express.  This gave us a nice tour of the whole plantation where they grow all sorts of different things (sugar cane, coffee, chocolate, breadfruit, pineapple and more).

These workers have to wear really protective clothing and gloves to do the pineapple picking.

In doing our research before the trip we got word that the Dole Whip dessert should NOT be passed up.  All of us (except Camden who sticks to only desserts that have the word chocolate attached) thought it was super Yummy!

the pineapple in Hawaii is ANAZING!!! It has been over 7 years since I was there and that still stands out. Looks like your trip is so much fun I'm so glad you're having a good time!
