Hawaii

Aloha!  Marcus and I were able to spend an amazing 8 days together on the Big Island of Hawaii!  What a wonderful adventure we were able to enjoy - just the 2 of us!!  A huge thank you to Oma & Opa for watching (& spoiling!) the kids while we were gone.
Can never get enough of the sunsets in Hawaii - absolutely breathtaking.
Pololu Valley - what a great little hike down to the black sand beach.  Gorgeous!  
Yep, another one!  WOW.

Makalawena - our favorite beach.  It takes about 10-15 minutes to drive to the "parking lot" because it's over a lava field and the road is not maintained!  And then it's about a good 30 minute hike to the beach - over a 'a'a (lava field trail).  But...it's totally worth the effort!  It's a very isolated beach - not many people go to it - and one of the best (in our opinion).  The first time we went we snorkeled with a sea turtle...very cool!  The next few times we went the waves were huge....so big that some of the locals were surfing!  That was fun to watch!  :)  This is the life...relaxing in the sand!
  
M getting ready to hike back to the car!
