They graciously came and picked me up in Hilo & I showed them around a little bit before we headed to Kona. Alissa and I posed for a picture in front of the very dry Rainbow Falls here in Hilo - it's been so dry these last few weeks.. so.. no spill!
Here we are out for supper in Kona! We were patiently awaiting the arrival of my other sister, Kelli, in Honolulu the next week - so we could get down to business!
Ok, so one night we went to the "Big Island Grill" for supper. While we were waiting we saw other people getting dessert and it looked so good!! The meal was deelish!! Huge servings. We were so full, so we decided to come back the next day and each order a dessert for our meal. I've never been more satisfied.
Watched the sunset!
Our hotel had a pretty sweet set up. So, since I'm living here - I get a kama aina discount at a lot of touristy things - hotels, rental cars, it is great. Dad was picking on us in the pool so we tried to dunk him. Didn't work so great. I guess he's still stronger. Shoot.
Alissa and I had the day to ourselves in Kona awaiting the concert that night. So, we bought some cinnamon buns, sat on the beach, and watched surfers all day... and found this cool little heart tree - how perfect.. it was Valentine's Day!
Ok.. now.. my favorite part. I really thought it wasn't going to work out - but I made it happen. Mostly because I knew I'd always regret it.. Mostly because I'm in Hawaii.. Mostly because it was Valentine's Day ...and most of all because of my love for the Beach Boys. It was like a dream come true. Even John Stamos (from Full House, and ER) was their special guest. Sigh..it's going to take a lot to top that.
The highlight of the night.. my favorite song:
More to come on Honolulu!
