The girls' favorite spot on Oahu

First things first - this is my one-hundredth post! Now that deserves a celebration, don't you think?! So - everyone give a little shout for post #100!! Thanks for celebrating with me. Now, on to the post -

There is a spot Oahu that was a highlight of our Hawaii trip for all my girls. They went crazy over the Pali Lookout. It is a place where the wind blows so fiercely all the time that you feel like the wind could literally sweep you off your feet. Both Lacey & Katie lost a flip flop & we had to chase them to recover them (which we were lucky to do!). We actually visited this spot on 2 different days because the girls had so much fun. Here's what an Oahu travel guide has to say about the spot -

"The Nuuanu Pali Lookout ("Cool Height Cliff") overlooking the 985 foot cliffs of the Koolau Mountain Range, is one of the best views on O'ahu. It was here in 1795 that King Kamehameha and his warriors defeated the O'ahu armies by sending them over these steep, forested cliffs and claiming his victory and uniting the Hawaiian Islands. The breathtaking sight and the gruesome history of the battle fought here is enough to cause a chill to run up your spine. Add to that the incredible winds that often pass through the Pali and you may be swept off your feet!"

And here's a little video for your enjoyment to celebrate this one-hundredth post. You can see for yourself how the wind blows at the Nuuanu Pali Lookout . . . (I just wish it wasn't so small on the blog! - oh well.)
