Dave needed a break from work and Hawaii was calling. We tried to go the weekend before, but the rental cars were sold out for the entire island!! Can you believe that? Such a remote place :)
After a long, and painless flight (Hallie and Mariah each slept 3 of the 6 hours). We went straight to A bay for a bit of beach time before the sun went down. It was unfortunately cloudy, so we didn't get a great sunset.
The moon was huge and full, but it never shows up as beautifully in pictures.
We headed to the beach (Mauna Kei) early and enjoyed 5 glorious hours. It was perfect weather, ocean and fun. Jackson snorkeled and swam with me for nearly an hour. We finally saw some fish when we got near the rocks. I loved spending some one on one time with him in the water. Dave and Jackson boogie boarded, body surfed and in general had a great time!
Mariah slept for the first 2 hours of the beach and then ate sand like it was candy for the next little while. So funny!
We went back to Chiyos cleaned up and then she watched our kids while Dave and I went on a "date" to walk along a sea shore trail. It was nice to be carefree in a beautiful place with my honey.
We spent out last daylight hours seeing the turtles and checking out one more beach (69)
We showered up and packed our things and headed to the airport. The plane didn't take off until 3 am our time. I was so exhausted. I slept the whole way! The kids did too. We spent Sunday relaxing. Dave and I took naps, but the kids still didn't. They are absolutely crazy about not sleeping during the day, even if they were woken up at least 9 times the night before and only slept 7 hours. It drives me nuts, but what can you do . . .can't force someone to sleep . . .
Although this was only a one night trip we were glad to have a quick get-away in a gorgeous place. We love Hawaii!
