Today was simply amazing. We got a bit of a late start but it was well worth it. We picked up some yummy doughnuts at Holy Doughnuts and some coffee in the village before heading to Volcano. While getting our coffee we stumbled upon a Tattoo Shop that looked like it might be the one. A few of us were wanting to add some new tattoo art while on the island. While walking back to the car three of us booked appointments.
Once back in the car we headed out for the two hour trip to the Volcano. The girls wanted to see it during the day so we made a brief stop at the ranger station and the hot pots before heading to Jagger Mountain. Once there we took a look at the crater and admired the steam.
After the stop at Volcano we headed into Hilo for some dinner and a quick stop at Akaka Falls. We ate at a little hole in the wall called Kuhio Grille which was to die for! After filling our bellies we headed for Akaka Falls.
We were literally the only one's there and with all the rain it was flowing much higher than the week before. It was stunning to have it all to ourselves. This was also a quick trip as we wanted to get back up to the Volcano as the Ranger told us that the previous night was great viewing. The trip back was very rainy and we were beginning to wonder if we were going to be able to see anything at all.
Once back at the Volcano it was rainy and windy and we were not necessarily prepared for that so Maren and I went to scout it out. As we approached the lodge we could begin to see the glow and Maren and I ran like little girls at Christmas. It was simply amazing, it literally brought tears to my eye's. We texted the others to come and look and Tristan, Carissa and Kayla soon joined us. We spent a good hour and half there standing in awe of what our Creator has laid before us. The trip was filled with great talk and worship music. I love these girls! Anther simply amazing day in Hawaii.
