Let's go back to the unique North Shore. When you travel with Mike amazing things happen and it was the same this day. The sun was out on the North Shore, which is a rare thing.
One road around the island and there was an car accident so that slowed us down a bit and it was interesting to see what a mess traffic was.
Kilauea Point and Lighthouse
There was a 3-5ft swell around the shore that morning so the water was a little rough. We explored and watched turtles. We found Tunnels Beach eventually. The underwater topography made this place amazing. Turtle, all the normal fish. You are in a tunnel of sand and you head out and all of the sudden the reef drops off and the ocean floor is deep. The kids had a good time on the beach and were good sports to babysit while we snorkeled one last time.
Mike and Jessie had a good time in the waves.
Feeding the birds
So I mentioned the kids obsession with coconuts... we stopped off at a farmer's market and walked around. Sampled passion fruit, and star fruit.
We visited with a sweet old lady that cut up papaya for us.
We ate those mini bananas and the had some coconut water and ate the coconut meat. Even Amy tried it all!
We checked out of the hotel early so we wouldn't have to go back and get our stuff. We had a yummy Italian dinner at a quaint restaurant and ten headed to the restrooms at Hanama'ulu Bay to shower and change for the plane ride home. I sat there holding Jessie waiting for everyone to shower and felt the cool breeze and breathed the air , listened to the waves crash and watched the clouds pass by the moon. Hawaii is beautiful and I will miss it.

We went there on our honeymoon and it's been so fun reading your entries. What a great trip!
Oh my heck that looked so fun! The pic of Mike holding up Jesse at the waves just makes me smirk!
