Two of the most beautiful places to visit on Oahu are the Ho'omaluhia botanical garden and Byodo-In Temple on the Windward side of the island not far from Kalua in Kahaluu, Hawaii. Great places for kids! There are hiking trails around the botanical gardens, but nothing serious. These trails are more of a stroll or walk through the forest.
My daughters are 5 and 8 and it was a perfect day exploring and learning at the botanical gardens. There is a visitor center and museum where kids can touch the displays and feel them followed by a short trail leading to a lake. If you wanted and lived close by I think having a picnic at the lake would be amazing.
After exploring the Gardens we headed over to the Japanese Byodo-In Temple. A beautiful place to explore. If you are military or kama'aina you get a discount. The girls and I are Hawaii residents and were allowed to walk in without paying. If not it is very affordable. General admission starts at $5. "Byodo-In Temple in O'ahu is a smaller-scale replica of the over 950-year-old Byodo-in Temple, a United Nations World Heritage Site in Uji, Japan." - byodo-in.com
If you have a chance to visit these two beautiful areas please do!

🪖 If you are new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed on the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
