We had a busy day traveling from South Point to
Hilo. One of Jack's favorite stops was the black sand beach.
Bye Yurt! We had fun here!
Sitting in a tree at
Whittington Beach Park.
Grammer always takes great photos with the boys!
Special instruments at the end of this pier measure the growth of Hawaii's newest island,
Loihi. This island is scheduled to break the surface of the ocean in 100,000 years!
Off to the black sand beach and making our own volcanoes! There is no coral off the shore here, so the black sand from broken down basalt is not mixed with any white sand.
After a nap, Will decided to go snorkeling.
The water is colder than it looks!
Turtles love this beach. It is an important nesting spot. The turtles are an endangered species so you have to keep far away to prevent scaring them.
We stopped for lunch at the Lava Rock Cafe in the town of Volcano before going to see Kilauea. The boys were very impressed with this Kitty lying on the side walk.

Kilauea caldera steams in the background.
