Out first three days in Hawaii had been a whirlwind. We came home from Oahu and slept almost 12 hours. I absolutely cannot remember the last time I did that. I'm sure it was pre-pregnancies and pre-babies. We got up, picked up burritos from
Red Hot Mama's, and headed to Hanalei Bay to picnic. Hanalei Bay was ranked
#1 beach in America in 2009 by Dr. Beach. And its easy to see why- beautiful sand, crescent bay, mountains and waterfalls behind you. It was simply beautiful.
Supposedly Puff the Magic Dragon
We were determined to read and relax on the most beautiful beach in America. And we did. For about an hour. Then we went exploring.
We went to Secret Beach which has secret lava pools and a great view of the Kilauea lighthouse.
Roughest waves we saw
We decided to hike over the lava rock to the secret lava pools. It was maybe 600 yards and it wouldn't have been bad at all- if we were wearing the right shoes. Unfortunately in our determination to rest and relax, we both wore our flimsy flip-flops. We made it but the way there and back would have been much simpler with proper shoes.
There was a waterfall by some of the lava pools. We climbed down near the waterfall to get in the lava pools at the bottom.
We are standing next to one of the lava pools. They were about 6 feet deep and so calming to just sit and relax in. Definitely worth the trek.
We drove down to Kilauea for pizza and ice cream (that's where we heard Julia Roberts was in town) and then found a spot to watch the sun set.
