Fourth Of July Weekend

First and foremost, Happy 4th of July everyone! Such an awesome holiday. I love patriotic holidays.

Friday night we got to meet Jesse James and then see her in concert. On Saturday, we spent our day hanging out at Americafest. We saw Jesse James perform again and I had a little too much beer. Our little girl had a blast running around and seeing so many people too.

Sunday, we went to see the bull fights which wasn't too interesting, but the Eisa Dancers were definitely awesome. Some of the best that I have seen so far (haven't seen too many, but they were definitely good). We ended up leaving the bullfights early because our baby was getting irritated with having to sit in one spot for so long and it wasn't too exciting anyway.

Instead of heading back home, we decided to head up north and see if we could find the Pineapple Factory. Tickets for the tour were only 600Y each for the two of us and then our baby was free. We got to ride around in a cart that drove itself and we learned a few things about pineapples and how they're grown. Our little one loved the ride in the cart. Then we went and tasted different pineapple wines, japanese lime juice, pineapple cakes, pineapple cookies. They even had pineapple perfume. We ended up buying a pineapple from there because the samples they had of the fresh pineapple were absolutely AMAZING!! My husband seriously ate almost all of their pineapple sample pieces. I've never had better pineapple before. So delicious.

After all of this, we leave and go to our car to leave. Well, our car doesn't start. It was so hot and humid outside and it felt like such a bummer after such an awesome day. My husband went to try and find someone who had jumper cables because ours were in our other car. Well, he finds a couple of Americans who are willing to help, but don't have cables. He then asks a Japanese guy in the Pineapple Factory for cables. He didn't think the guy understood him, but he handed him a bag with jumper cables in it. Definitely a God send. So, we got our car started and off we went.

We decided that instead of heading back home, we would head even further up north to Cape Hedo, the northern most tip of the island, to watch the sun set and take some more pictures. It was a long trip, but definitely worth it. It was so beautiful up there. The sun setting over the ocean is always a beautiful sight.

Afterwards, we made the two hour long drive home. Our sweet baby fell asleep for the whole ride, she was exhausted. All in all it was an awesome day with the family.
