Ka`ena Point - April 29, 2012
Ka`ena Point with Sommer. Headed out past Wai`anae, Makaha and Makua to Keawa'ula (Yokohama Beach) and Ka`ena Point State Park.
The road is old and coast is hard.
Near the end of the road is a rather large rock arch.
At the end of the road...someone found a place to park. The road is washed out just past this pickup. You used to be able to drive around the point, but during Hurricane Iwa the road got washed out and it's now impassible.
Surrounding Ka`ena Point State Park is a fence to keep dogs and other animals out who would threaten the birds and their nests at the point.
Beyond the fence the park opens up to sand dunes and birds nests.
Out at the point there was a endangered Hawaiian monk seal lounging on the rocks.
We took in the sights of the point before heading back to civilization.
On the way back we passed this guy heading out to the point. In dress slacks, dress shirt and dress shoes. Walking along the path like he was headed to a meeting in the conference room down the hall.
Made our way back to Keawa`ula and thankfully our car was still there and no windows were broken!!! We headed to Ai`ea and had some awesome lunch!

Big Island - May 11-14, 2012
For Mother's Day weekend Sommer and I went to the Big Island! The first night we headed straight to Halema`uma`u Crater for some nighttime lava viewing. It was one of the highlights of the trip!
On Saturday we headed for a round island trip. Hitting up Punalu`u and the black sand beach.
We then headed out towards Kona and Pu`uhonua O Honaunau (City of Refuge).
We stopped in Kona for some lunch.
Then we headed up to Hawi and Kamehameha Akahi `Aina Hanau (Kamehameha's birth place).
On Sunday Sommer and I headed out to Kapoho and Kalapana.
We picked up Robert and headed up to Mauna Kea.
All three of us hiked out to Lake Wai`au! At the 13,000 feet in elevation the 1.5 miles hike to Wai`au was BRUTAL!
From the Summit we watched the sunset on a great day and our short vacation.
