THE BIG ISLAND

I stopped posting about everyday once we got to the big island, and that is because we didn't go go go as much- we just relaxed!

On December 26th we flew from Oahu to Kona then we drove about 20 mins to Waikoloa Village where we were staying

 (view from our balcony)

It was so pretty and such a cute new development

There were shops all around and lots of other Hotels and Condos

We went up to the Waikoloa Hilton one day

 

They have a tram that takes you around because the Hotel is so big

 They even had dolphins to play with 

(For a large amount of course$$$)

 The dolphins were so cute, some of them even had babies

We rented mopeds one day and rode around Waikoloa Village

 We have never rode Mopeds before so it was a first for us

 We loved it!!

Beach Day

Hapuna Beach

 The waves here were huge. They are the #1 beach in the state for spinal cord injuries

We saw a man being pulled from the water-way too scary. 

None of us got in.

 

We didn't spend too much time at the beach, since we live right by it and aren't huge fans of the sand

But I'm glad we went at least one day, it was crazy watching the huge waves

  Julia and I have the same suit, so we had to get a picture together

Our sweet Biya, Kyle's Grandma, took us all out to dinner at ROYS on Sunday night

It was so delicious

 Kyle's grandparents met us at the big island for the week

 

Almost everybody got Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahi Mahi.

 I got Salmon- It was the best fish we have tasted

For dessert we all had a chocolate lava cake-way too good.  

 Thanks Biya!!

 Most of our time on the Big Island was spent at the pool

laying out, reading & swimming

Just what I love most

We had such an amazing trip and we are so grateful we were able to go with family and make so many new memories.

Thanks Mom and Dad for the awesome 2 week Christmas Break
