Maui Picturepalooza - Friday

We had so much fun on Cary's day off. We spent most of the day on a drive to Hana, which is a 2 hour gorgeous drive through the hawaiian mountains on a very curvy, very small road that at times is barely wide enough for one vehicle. Cary loved every minute, while I enjoyed a few views and felt like I was either going to hyperventalate or throw up. Carson did pretty well and slept for a bit both on the way there and on the way back. Once we made it to Hana, we picknicked, stopped at several roadside fruitstands, and visited several blacksand beaches - which were amazing! The coolest one by far was in the Hana National Park, and we have lots of pictures of that one. I couldn't believe how beautiful everything was. Then after freshening up, we had dinner at a little mexican place called Fred's that had the best Mahi Mahi tacos! Yum! Then we shopped a little and had really good white chocolate macadamia nut ice cream. It was such a fun day!!













And these are at the black sand beach at the national park in Hana:




Carson became quite the ham with all of our picture taking:










The waves were crashing up about 20+ feet where Cary and Carson were looking. I kept trying to get Carson's attention, but he couldn't take his eyes off of the waves...who can blame him :)














On the same beach, there were these caves that are called lava tubes because they were formed when the lava from the eruptions burned holes through the rocks all the way down to the ocean. They are huge and so cool!






Here is a picture we took of one of the waterfalls on the road to Hana:
