Adventure in Hilo: LAVA!

Not only did we eat turkey with my grandmother. No, we took a lava tour from a boat! It was KICK @SS!

Once again we had a 3:30 wake up call. This time no cancellation. We quickly boarded a very large, very metal boat and took a bit of mysterious ride in the pitch black towards a point. Eventually we started to see a red glow. And then we saw much, much more. It was absolutely unbelievable. We felt so lucky to be there. So blessed to see the activity. So smart to treat ourselves to this great adventure!

The pictures don't begin to do it justice but neither do my words so let's let them give it a shot...









And then the sun came up...


Awesome day!
