Dole Plantation Grille, Dole Whip, and Garden Tour - Day 4

It used to be that the only place to get a delicious Dole Whip was at Disneyland or the Dole Pineapple Plantation. That has since changed and you can now get a Dole Whip in quite a few places. Still, we couldn't visit without getting one.


Alli, do you want a treat?

There were plenty of options for satisfying your Dole Whip craving.

Hmm. A Pineapple Split for $25.95? I know what I'm getting.

There's two separate sides serving Dole Whip, plus a back grill serving hot food.

There it is! Two large Dole Whip cones.

Chocolate covered pineapple spear. That's appropriate here too.

You can also get a Dole Whip with lots of pineapple topping.

My parents enjoying their cone.

T's parents sharing some of theirs with Alli.

Everyone else has received their treats. I was wondering when mine was going to come out. Our server has been gone for quite a few minutes. She came around the corner carrying this massive Dole Whip split. It's enormous!

Oh man. The smile was plastered on my face. Walking out with this thing, there were lots of people staring and pointing.

This thing is solid. It wasn't hollow in the center like the desserts at Disneyland. Served in a split pineapple and topped with chocolate, strawberry and caramel, and each tower of Dole Whip was topped with a cherry. I'm going to finish this thing!

I'm not going to lie. Being so large, a few people felt that I wouldn't mind sharing. Still, the vast majority of it was finished by me. A surprise on the bottom were quite a few large pineapple chunks.
Towards the end, you just have to get mad at it and start eating bite after bite.


Success! All done!
Would I do it again? Absolutely!

Along with the grille, there's plenty of other souvenirs offered here.

Ian's new favorite souvenir has become pressed pennies. And he was quick to find the machine here.

Thanks Pop Pop!

Time to use our tickets for the Plantation Garden.
Plantation Garden Tour - This self-guided walking tour will give you an up-close look at hundreds of plants, flowers and trees, including many native species and crops being grown on the North Shore of Oahu.

Inside we'd find lots of plants, including some fruiting trees. Theresa is pointing out some bananas to Ian.


Just hanging around.

There's some pretty views in here.


A few good places to take some family photos.




It's been a good morning, but we've got to grab some lunch and then it's time for our next event.

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 1

It's the weekend! This year we're not going to get the chance to fly to Michigan to visit the apple orchards there. Theresa was still really wanting to go and the kids have been getting really excited about picking apples so Theresa found a place relatively close by and made it happen! Welcome to Oak Glen! Just a 2 hour drive from our house, this mountain community had its first apple orchards planted all the way back in 1867. Now home to over 30 different orchards, this 5 mile loop is affectionately known as Apple Country. After Ian got out of school, everyone piled in the car and headed for the hotel T booked. We're making it a 2 day event, staying the night in between so we can get an early start in the morning. After checking in and getting up to our rooms, Ian was very happy to find a quarter (remember this one, it'll come back later). Time to head to our first orchard! Snow-Line Orchard has been in production since 1898. I was really happy to come on a Friday. It...

Alli takes on more 40" rides at Disneyland

It's been a full weekend already, spending 2 days in Oak Glen California visiting apple orchards, but we're not done yet. Weekends are perfect for a Disneyland visit. I love seeing all the different Halloween decorations, plus Alli just turned 40" tall so she's got lots of brand new things she can ride. Hats this week continue the Nightmare Before Christmas theme from last week. From left to right, we've got a Jack Skellington style top-hat from Disneyland years ago. Next is Jack Skellington bursting out of a pumpkin which I think was offered last year at Disneyland. Then there's a Scary Teddy hat, followed by a Santa Jack hat complete with beard. Both parks open today at 8am. At 8:05 we were in a long line of cars trying to enter the parking structure, and by 8:45 we had made it through security and were walking through Downtown Disney. I always opt to take the 1 mile walk from the parking garage to the entrance instead of dealing with the tram. One other ...

Oak Glen Apple Farms - Part 2

Good morning! Happy Saturday! Ready to head to the apple orchards? By staying overnight nearby, we were able to get an early start to the day and arrive right when the orchards opened on Saturday. The drive in to Oak Glen was quiet and peaceful. There was even one stretch were we saw deer amongst the apple trees eating their breakfast. Having read multiple reviews ahead of time, it was clear that this was going to be a madhouse later in the day. According to everything I read, Oak Tree Village opened up at 8am. I thought getting there around 8:30am would give everyone a little time to get set up. But when we arrived, it was like a ghost town. There's lots of shops stalls, but nothing is really open yet. Looking around for anything to do, at the back of the village we found a pen with chickens, a duck, a peacock, and some pigeons. And right there by the pen was a vending machine for corn feed. Ian asked if he could have money for it, but sorry buddy, I don't carry coins. Ian sud...
