Hawaii Day 2

Day 2 we decided to hit the road and check out the north side of the Big Island. Our first stop was the Waikoloa resort area. It was a gorgeous place with lots of shopping and eating, hike and bike trails going around it and lots of beautiful hotels and condos. It reminded me of the Sandestin area of Florida. We were told that you could get a day pass to the Hilton there to go watch the dolphin's swim, so that was our first stop. And what a treasure we found! It was a really neat hotel and certainly a kids paradise! They had a lagoon that has a little beach where the kids can swim without the big waves crashing. They had lots of pools that are all connected by slides and a big lazy river. Charlotte had a blast!! After we left there we continued north up to a small town called Hawi. We had a delicious lunch at Bamboo Restaraunt, voted the best restaraunt on the island. We did some shopping, found some great souveneirs and had an ice cream and fudge treat in the afternoon!! Perfect vacation day. We headed home through the Hawaiin countryside just in time for... the sunset!!

Favorite spot to ride!
