hope everyone enjoyed the long memorial day weekend if you had it. with schools out, we've been busy with graduation season, so this long weekend was much needed to recoup and relax.
to start off the weekend, i met up with long time blog friend, laura! we've been online friends and pen pals since 2010, and when she said she was coming to hawaii, i knew we'd have to meet. we met for dinner at piggy smalls and chatted about anything and everything while enjoying yummy food and drinks.

laura (formerly of the blog of worldy delights) and ben started a great new blog about mid-west living. keep up with them here:
view from the hawaii convention center
went to watch my niece's dance competition at the hawaii convention center. on the first night, she took GOLD for her solo dance. after, we had soodubu (soft tofu soup) at one of my favorite places, cho dang.
sunday was a chill day at home. it was hot, and foxy couldn't wait to swim. here she is waiting ever so patiently.
of course, on memorial day we took flowers to the graveyard. this particular cemetery is located near the beautiful ko'olau mountains where it is always lush and green. it poured while we were there, but we took that as a blessing.
the veteran memorial cemetery lined with american flags.
post-cemetery, we fueled up (japanese food from maruki tei) before partaking in some memorial day shopping.
we ended the weekend at the beach house...check out the mangoes!!
the absolute best part about a three-day weekend?
the four-day work week that follows!
What a great post. Friends, food and fashion -- a winning trio. Everything looks so attractive.
