around the island in three days

Eric and I took a few days off the farm to go on a road trip all the way around the Big Island. The trip included one long road, a 50ft cliff jump, camping on a volcano, waterfalls, valleys, both desert and tropical forests, a night in cowboy country, and all the beaches one could handle in three days. It was fun to play tourists for a little while but by the end we were happy to be eating Poke at our favorite beach spot watching the sun set back in Kona.

  1. Amazing photos, guys! I'll tell you--one look at that lava flow and steam vents and I would have been "camping" at The Four Season and NOT on the volcano. But you guys are still the reigning coolest people we know and that's what cool people do. Nice job keeping the title. MISS YOU. I cannot wait to hug the both of you when you return!
