This is the amount of tiny bags that mom and I combined took on the plane.
Our first meal after we arrived. It should of been called slap happy hour.
Snorkeling in Kona.
For some reason mom could not walk on this lava. She was walking like a dog walks when you put shoes on them. Totally out of her element. Dad thought it was funny.
After this one drink, Chris went crazy doing her version of hula dance during the car ride home. This was all it took.
Shout out to Kika...oh the fruit drinks.
This is a black sand beach at the bottom of Waipio Valley.
Our Ride the Rim ATV tour of the valley turned out to be one of the most exciting things I have ever done.
Our fun tour guides.
The after shots. I don't ever remember being dirtier.
A stop at the botanical gardens for mom.
The Volcanoes National Park.
Macadamia Nut Farm.
Sunset beach on the North Shore of Oahu.
Waikiki Beach. Our hotel was 20 steps to the shore.
On top of Mauna Kea. The best place in the world to star gaze and the largest mountain from the bottom of the sea to its summit.
We stood above the clouds.
All year round it is freezing, literally on the peak so parkas are handed out.
The last night we went to a luau as a nice send off before our late night flight.
