Today we headed north on the Kohala Coast for a day on the beach. I hoped to go to my favorite beach of all on this island, at the Mauna Kea resort, which is the oldest resort on the island. It is next to the Hapuna Beach State Park, which is also a lovely beach, but the waves don't get as wild as they can at Hapuna, The Mauna Kea resort is actually open, due to the strong earthquake in October of 2006 that caused severe structural damage to this hotel. They hope to have it up and running again by December of this year.
There are a certain number of parking spots which must be designated to the public -- not sure how many, but not a huge amount. Lucky for us, we were able to get a spot and enjoy this wonderful beach. Otherwise we would have gone to the Hapuna beach.
As you can see by the pictures, we all had a GREAT time! If you're looking for Summer, check picture #2 carefully. Oh, and it also seems we now also have sunburns as well. Arrrgh!

Wow what a wonderful and memorable vacation for your grands. Brad was a smart one wearing a t-shirt! I hate to think of all that Washington state skin in the tropical sun! But you sure seem to be having fun!
