Aloha girl


Here's a few shots of our gal enjoying Hawaii. We have been trying to eat some Japanese food the last couple of days since we have been away from it for a while. DC was not a great Japanese food town. Lots of Korean places but the Japanese restaurants (especially sushi) in DC were not that great and were very expensive. So far the food in Hawaii has been much better and cheaper (as you would expect). Last night we headed out for ramen. Momma and I had big bowls with extra chashu. Momma had corn added to her bowl - I went for a big glob of butter. Momma stole some of my butter to put in her ramen. Moral of the story - never get corn added to ramen (or any other vegetable for that matter) when you can have a big glob of butter. Our gal was quite the hit at the ramen shop. The waitstaff lugged her around the place. One nice Filipina lady kept fawning over the baby. Of course Momoka loved the extra attention. About 2/3 of the way through the meal a family of Japanese tourists came into the ramen shop. There were two little girls around 6 and 3 with the family. The three year old was interested in Momoka and came over to talk to her. Momoka hasn't seen a Japanese child yet and was very interested in this little girl. Momoka reached out and the little girl reached out and they both touched hands. Momoka was so excited. The little Japanese girl then sang Momoka the theme song from the Anpanman cartoon and performed a little dance while singing. Momoka was so excited she almost popped.



In the ramen shop . . . . .



Here's our gal hanging out at Genki sushi. It's like a 100 yen kaiten sushi place in Japan but when you've been away from decent sushi for a while it was pretty tasty. We ate sushi at a rather expensive place in Georgetown that had it's clock cleaned by the sushi at Genki - plus it was about 1/4 the cost.



Here's our gal with some lei's. She wasn't too happy that we wouldn't let her graze on the flowers. I guess they looked tasty. One things for sure they smelled great
