Hawaii - Big Island, June 2011

We headed out on June 18th for the Big Island of Hawaii, for a week of fun in the sun...and some much needed relaxation. We used my friends time share (thank you Marcy!), and enjoyed swimming, sunning, visiting Hilo, taking a scenic drive up the mountains,hiking to the petroglyph fields, climbing up by the Mauna Kea observatory to watch the sun set from above the clouds (super gorgeous), and ended our trip with a day at the Hilton Waiakola Beach Resort, swimming with the Dolphins and utilizing their water park. We had a great time and a really nice vacation as a family. We left Hawaii and flew back to Detroit, and then drove on to Portage, where Scott stayed with us for about a week and a half.
