Cheeseburger in Paradise
Taken by Kris Nelson on September 10th, 2007
Location: Cheeseburger in Paradise, Lahaina
Wow, where does the time go? Not only are the final weeks before our upcoming trip to Maui just flying by, this week’s photo in our Sunday Photo series marks the 50th edition in a series I started back in October ’07. That’s a lot of Sundays, and something that I’ve had a lot of fun sharing.
This week’s photo was taken on one of our visits to Cheeseburger in Paradise in Lahaina. What we hadn’t noticed in previous meals there was that the chairs all had different place names on the back of them. We probably didn’t notice because we were enjoying the view of the harbor from the upstairs dining area.
Anyway, there were a few chairs that said Lahaina, Oahu, Waikiki, and of course, Maui. Seemed like a pretty neat thing at time, so we picked up the camera and snapped away. Cheeseburger is one of those places that has a lot of neat little things and signs hanging up all over the place, and I snapped a few others as well. This one was another one of my favorites.
Happy 50!!!
50 seems to be a popular number these days. Here are a few fun facts related to the 50 milestone:
- Most people already know that Hawaii was the 50th U.S. state.
- Not as many people realize that Hawaii will be celebrating 50 years of statehood on August 21st of this year.
- February 28th, 2009 will be our 50th day on Maui going back to June ’06.
- Last year, we brought my mom to Maui as a gift for her 50th birthday.
- There are 60 minutes in an hour, but I probably spend 50 of them wishing I was on Maui.
