Hawaii: Day 7

(I accidentally mxed up days 6 & 7) On day seven we drove to Wai'pio Valley. And of course that was beautiful as everything was :) Then we drove around the island stopping at the Akaka falls and then to Hilo. In Hilo we stopped at a Chinese garden. Then we drove the rest of the way down and around the island back home.

Hawaii: Day 5

Day five in Hawaii! I think I took the most pictures this day, it was absolutely beautiful! We drove up to the north end of the island to the Polo'lu Valley. There were so many beautiful picture ops on the way :) We took a hike down into the valley, it took about 20 mins to get down because we kept stopping to take pictures. The beach at the bottom was beautiful! It was a black sand beach and the sand was so soft. Seth and I went for a swim while his mom watched Adaiah. Seth said they were the biggest waves he had ever been in. It was a blast! On the way home we drove through Parker Ranch. It is a huge ranch! I'm not sure how many acres I will have to ask Seth and update this :)

Hawaii: Day 4

Day four in Hawaii! We decided to take it easy this day. We went to the Coffee Mill and I got an oyster with 2 gold pearls inside! We also went and walked through the Lava Tubes behind the coffee mill. After that we went to Alii Gardens Marketplace to shop and then back to the condo for a swim, Adaiah's first time in the pool!

Hawaii: Day 3

On our third day in Hawaii we went to Waikoloa where we spent the day at the beach! This was Adaiah's first experience swimming, and swimming in the ocean! She only took a few mins to warm up to it and then she loved it! We saw another big sea turtle, I love those things! After the beach we went shopping in the Queen's market.
