Maui 2 Da Big Island

Just got back from a great trip to Hawaii.  A few weeks on the islands will rejuvenate your soul will the Aloha spirit!   Lot’s of fun hills to get your cruise on…

Sunrise at Haleakala, Maui.  Camped on the side of the volcano and hiked up to a loan peak at 4 A.M. to get this stunning view.  It was freezing cold in paradise.  Dare I say it was a spiritual experience at 10,000 ft.
Scored some fun waves
And some killer sights

Camped out on our 3 acres on the Big Island.  We built this tree platform a few years ago in the jungle as a base camp for island exploration.


The local boys in Hana, Maui were super cool and shared some irie times and waves.  Mahalo dudes!
A nice reminder…
Emily likes to smile!
Leap of faith at South Point, Big island
Warning
The Ohana, So happy to call Hawaii our second home!
Until next time…
Aloha!
