We learned about the Ancient Hawaiians

 

We walked on the lava coast at the place of Refuge (ignore my thighs..)

 

We got sand in our shoes

 

We saw dolphins in captivity

 

and Humpback whales in the wild

 

We hiked down to a beautiful black sand beach at Waipio Valley

 

 

 

And we swam at the black beach

 

 

 

 

We even hiked back up again

 

We enjoyed a resort luau and made Dr. Jay dance with the hula guys

 

 

We drove across the Island to see a volcano in action

 

 

And to walk where the volcanoes had thrown their lava

 

And where it ran over a town

 

We saw the sea and the lava meet

 

 

All in all, I would say we had fun

 

 

 

Oh, and the meeting was A-okay!(note- Name tag…see it really was a meeting!)
