I feel so lucky to have the opportunity to go to Hawaii each year with family. We were blessed with hot weather all week and I tried to soak it all in since I don't know when I will be back on the Big Island. I wasn't planning to blog, but after the trip I of course had a thousand photos in my camera roll so I thought I would share some with you! All photos (except the underwater shots) were taken on my iPhone.

Flying over clouds!

A good view of the lava plains, this was shot from the plane as we were about to land.

Papaya with lime - my favorite thing to have for breakfast.

A typical lunch - sushi and wine.

Sunset at Hapuna Beach.

Some underwater shots.

We stumbled upon the Pololu Valley lookout point last year, and nicknamed it the "lord of the rings" place. We were hoping to hike this down to the black sand beach but it didn't happen for us this year!
