Happy Birthday Granny! We had family fun at the 'Iolani Palace, Rainbow Drive-in and Leonard's Bakery!

No traditional birthday cake here...instead, a fresh Malasada from Hawaii's famous Leonard's Bakery!
A malasada is a Portuguese style donut made famous in Hawaii by Leonard's bakery...interesting story on their website:

at the 'Iolani Palace waiting for our tour to begin

have to wear booties to enter the palace!

Amelia wasn't allowed...so Grandpa Clyde stayed outside with her...she seemed pretty happy when we came out so he did great!

On our way out...this is the front of the palace

After the palace, we dined at a local favorite...the Rainbow Drive-In is celebrating it's 50th anniversary...it was featured on Food Network's  Diners, Drive-ins and Dives show a while ago...we first discovered it in the Spring with the Becker cousins : )
