Kona, Hawaii: March 2013

Chels and I got the pleasure of going back to Hawaii in March with Barry and Cindy, and we had so much fun!  It was a great trip!  We went to the Big Island, on the Kona side, this time.  It's been 3 and a half years since we'd been to Maui on our honeymoon, so it was definitely time to go back!


Barry and Cindy did a time share trade for a week at Waikoloa Village outside of Kona.  Here I am enjoying my first margarita on the patio, the vacation has officially started!

Chels and I in the living room.  We had a two bedrooms and two bathrooms apartment-style rental with a kitchen, dining, and living room.  It was very comfortable!

Chels says hello!
 
We had a private patio where we lounged and had our morning breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres

 Hi Chels!  Lounging and reading in the chaise

Is that a mai tai I spy?

I never get tired of looking at the palm trees, they are so beautiful. And so foreign!  This Minnesota native still can't get used to the sight of them!

Cheers!  Hors d'oeuvres and beverages out on the lanai
 

Chels and I at the beach

Trying to soak up some sun before coming back to the grey Seattle skies!

We went snorkeling at this beach, not too far away from our vacation rental

Went swimming in the ocean, where I proceeded to lose my sunglasses, Cindy found them, and then I lost them again!  Oh well!

The water is so blue and lovely, wish I was there right now
 
We had appetizers at the beach that evening before heading home.  Wanted to see the beautiful sun setting over the water


Chels, Cindy, and Barry
 
 
Gorgeous sunset


 
Stay tuned, we have more great pictures to share!
