The Big island!!!

So...it was my very first trip to Hawaii and i'm in love!
This is our hotel. It was right on the ocean, and a couple
of day's we sat and did a little whale and dolphin watching in the morning.
It was so amazing. Cant wait to go back!















These dolphins are called "spinner dolphins"
instead of jumping out of the water they spin and flip.
We saw these on our snorkeling adventure at Captain Cook monument.































We got a free upgrade to a convertible! needless to say
my hair was a rats nest every time we got out!














This is the Waipio Valley. It was the most spectacular
thing I have ever seen. it was very foggy the day we went, this pic
does not do it justice!














We four wheeled down to the bottom. The sand is black here,
and this is where the fresh water meets the ocean.


























































This is another view from the hotel.














Coy pond! Travis thought the fish loved him because of his
coy tattoo...Um honey, hate to burst your bubble but they wanted you
to feed them!



































WHAT A BEAUTY!!!
Captain Cook monument snorkeling!














On our boat tour, the captain took us to lava tubes!
That big hole is one! This is were actual lava use to come out.



















More lava tubes and caves created by the volcano!
