Can We Fit It All In?

The Big Island has so many wonderful places it was hard to narrow down the list when Dad came to visit. I must say, I worked him hard, but I wanted to make sure he saw all the beauty this island has to offer. First though was an introduction into the line dancing community in Waimea.



with a stop at Akaka Falls on the way home.

Then to my favorite place.


and a local favorite: snow capped shave ice

Nope, couldn't just look...we definitely had to hike down.





The hike was totally worth it.


and the view of the mountains










With a hike over a lava field covered in naupaka, the fishing adventure began. As the sun set, fish started biting. The full moon rose over the ocean illuminating each one as it was reeled in, one after another - one wahanui, nine aweoweo, and a mempachi. What a perfect night for fishing! #iheartnature#wayneisthemaster #fullmoonrising#bigislandbliss #puna #nighthike#didnotgetlost #heardsomewhales#naturalhigh #fishingcanbeexciting





Liliuokalani Gardens









Kilauea Volcano

The final challenge: Hiking to the green sand beach






Hawaiian local favorite: Loco moco


Rummy with the roommates

and on the final day: a dive in a submarine
