When people think of a Hawaiian vacation they imagine sunny, sandy beaches, froo-froo drinks in hand and lots of relaxation. Well, leave it to the contrarian to have a completely opposite experience.
S and I went to Hawaii to celebrate our 3rd year. I thought it would be cool to see the Volcano, so I booked us a cottage in the sleepy little town of Volcano. Well, we had a less than sleepy time.
It was non-stop adventuring with volcano hikes, lava viewing, exploring a lava tube, buying orchids at local farmer's markets, waterfall frolicking, banyan tree climbing, mountain climbing to Mao Kea (13k feet!), stargazing at 9k feet, touring a coffee plantation, eating awesome pie at the southern most restaurant in the US (they played Bluegrass music too!), seeing sea turtle on a black sand volcanic beach and driving 600 miles in 3 days! I didn't don my bathing suit once.
I really can't describe it in words, so here are some pictures for you to enjoy.
