Hawaii Scenery

Here's the sweet oceanfront portion of Kailua-Kona, a short walk from our Wyndham Kona Hawaiian condo, as we came back in from our dinner cruise.

Stace and I really enjoyed nosing around the town, looking in shops, on our morning walks while the girls stayed at the condo with Grandma and Grandpa.

So many beautiful photos, it's hard to choose which to include here on the blog.

This is from our final full day, after snorkeling at the little beach a short walk from the Kona gymnasium.

The Big Island has 11 climate zones, and many variations of scenery. Besides the rocky coast, sandy beaches and rainforest, we drove through pasture land and meadows.

We also viewed interesting lunar-looking landscapes formed from hardened lava.

This was the beautiful Waipio Valley.

Can we go back?

Please?

We had an amazing vacation, really memorable, and we're so thankful for the opportunity and time together.
