The Big Island

The day after Christmas we flew to the Big Island with the Bullen family! What a fun trip it was and definitely one of our favorites. Eliza loved spending time with her Nana and Papa. The first day we were there she wasn't a huge fan of the sand or the endless waves that catch you by surprise, but by day 2 she couldn't get enough of it. She had so much sand on her face she looked like a little racoon with only her eyes visible. Squishing the sand between her fingers and toes and letting the waves run up over her legs was a thrill. We went golfing, snorkeling, Helicopter tour of the island and volcanoes, delicious food, Kona temple, New Year's Eve party and of course plenty of beach and sunshine. The one thing I love about Hawaii is when you're there you can't help but slow down to the pace of the island and truly relax. Thanks Juji and Bear for a splendid week!
