I grew up on the island of Oahu and love returning “home” with my family. Whenever we visit, we always look forward to time with family & friends, the beautiful weather and all the delicious food.
The best way to end a day at the beach is with a bowl of Shave Ice! And that’s no typo – in fact, it’s the customary local name for this sweet treat!
