This day was filled with a tremendous amount of driving. We first drove drove north to pick up tanks to scuba dive and drove to a place Puako, for our first dive, it was very nice. We then went back and refilled our tanks and drove to a place called "Point of Refuge". It is where commoners who did something against the King's rules would have to run to, swim to and then jump the fence to be safe, all before the kings men caught you and killed you. The dive was very cool. We then drove 60 miles to South Point, the southern most point of the United States. The cliffs were amazing, the water as blue as anyone could imagine. The wind was blowing about 35-40 miles an hour. We went to see the site, well the girls did, Michael and I went to find more cliffs to jump off of. The pictures don't show how high it really was. We then went out to the southern most point and it was unbelievable. We were ready to build our house and never come home *We would miss you a little bit*. We then drove back to Kona for dinner at Quinn's, a seafood dive. We all ordered fish and chips and it was awesome, I'm not a big fish person, but it was great, it was made out of ono. Great fish!. Then to Walmart for more food for the condo and for rootbeer floats. Started at 7 am got home at 8:30 pm. We love Hawaii or we love to be away together, I Love You Linda! We do miss our kids!

Sounds like you are having a blast! You are on the big island, right? Be sure to visit the volcano. We loved our trip to Hawaii with our kids. Every day we left our condo at about 8 in the and didn't get home until about 10 or later! I led them on a wild goose chase hike that I thought was 4 miles, but was really 8 - roundtrip, and we had to book it to get out before dark because we drove through someone's marijuana farm to get to it... Beautiful diving, too! Looking forward to hearing more!

Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Maybe we will meet you there next time! You deserve it all and you are a great fun mom. Marc finally got alone time with you. That is all those boys need is all the attention.

Sun-kissed and oh so happy at Leo Carillo! Our Easter tradition for 20 years and we couldn't be in a better place. Life is all about family and I feel so blessed to have the children and husband that I have.
