Hawaii and Beyond

This was an impromptu dinner selection and was decided on the way home from work with my fiancé. We are lucky to live in Hawaii, but this day happened to have bumper-to-bumper traffic.

Go check them out when you're strolling through the Saturday Farmers Market. You wont be disappointed.
