Time for the Big Island

Spring Break is here. Off to the Big Island, Hawaii!

We landed in Kona and made our way to the other side of the island through the center of the island. We took a break at the high elevation on Mauna Kea. We weren't allowed to go to the summit with the kids because of the elevation different and altitude sickness. Here we are near the visitors center looking for the very rare, Silversword only found above 6,000 only on Hawaii.

We found a silversword.

And another one, in bloom!

Taking a little hike up to a viewpoint.

It's a bit difficult at nearly 10,000ft.

Nice view. 

 The whole family in tropical Hawaii.

Impressive.

Now, to Hilo and our very cool rental house.

The first ever family monopoly game that ended up taking several nights and resulting in many tears.
