“Sunset” Kihei, 2024

After work today, we visited Waikulu Distillery in Makawao for an agave spirit tasting. It was such a fun and educational experience! We were surprised by the variety of agave spirits (Tequila) they offered. One variety stood out as our favorite, so we picked up a bottle to bring back home to Texas.

Later, we caught a breathtaking sunset at Kamaole Beach Park II, followed by dinner at the local food truck park. I tried the loco moco poutine from Howzit Eh!, and it was absolutely delicious – and super filling!

“Shrimp Truck” Kahului, 2024

This evening we stopped by the food trucks across the street from Costco here on Maui. We’ve been here before, so we knew we would enjoy! The shrimp is from Geste Shrimp Truck, and the steak is from Ono Teppanyaki & Seafood. Recommended!

“Fancy Oyakodon Dinner” Cedar Park, 2024

Every birthday, Mariko asks me what I want for dinner, and my mind instantly goes to oyakodon — it’s my absolute favorite! This year, I almost chose okonomiyaki, but in the end, the mighty oyakodon won out.
