Casa de Pineapple

   Anthony is not one for car rides and our trip was no exception.  (He generally has about 30 minutes of patience on a good day.)  On our way to the north shore we took a car break at the Dole Pineapple Plantation.  Its a tourist trap only rivaled by Casa de Fruta on Hwy. 152.  Anthony loved it, though was very disappointed I wouldn't let him buy anything.  He didn't even know what it was, he just wanted to buy it.

  I did buy him a Dole Whip (pineapple soft serve) and tickets for the three of us to ride the Pineapple Express.  We actually learned a few things at the Dole Plantation, most notably that pineapples do NOT grow on trees.  I think I'd envisioned them growing on something like palm trees.  No sirree-Bob, they grow on little bushes that sprout from the top of a pineapple.
