We've been having fun over the past few days...playing at the beach, driving up to the volcano and visiting the town of Hilo. We spent most of Thursday afternoon at the beach playing in the sand. Darin built sandcastles for Lincoln and buried him up to his chest in the sand. Lincoln had a blast. Before digging our toes in the sand, Lloyd and Darin grilled burgers at a nearby picnic tables overlooking the beach. It was a beautiful day!
We left the Condo Friday morning and headed towards Hilo. Along the way we drove up to the top of Mauna Kea where there are several observatories. It was a chilly 48 degrees, which sounds warm compared to the below freezing temperatures they are having back in Oklahoma. After a quick look, I was ready to get back to sea level and the 80 degree temps! We were advised not to take Lincoln to the top to avoid altitude sickness. Nesi and Connie were kind enough to stay at the visitors lodge and do some entertaining.
We made our way on over to Hilo and had a picnic lunch in the beautiful bay. After checking into the hotel, we took the jeep on a scenic drive and did a small hike to see some waterfalls. For dinner, we took Darin's advice and ate at Ocean Sushi....it was good enough to take his advice again!
Saturday we made a visit to the Hilo farmer's market and drove through Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. It was a fun day with a long drive home. Everyone was exhausted by the time we got home. Tomorrow holds new adventures!
