"Let's go for a drive." There is something that is heard all over the country on lazy Sundays and holidays, and that is what we decided to do. I wanted to see some surf and we had heard that the ride along the Kahekili Highway that leads to the North side of the island was the one to take, so off we went.












On top of everything the wind was howling like you read about. That last photo was taken with the camera perched on a rock using the timer. Pete was against it, sure we would lose the camera off the cliff, but we managed it anyway. It was a great drive and the surf and views were spectacular. "But wait," you say. "No pictures of Banana Bread?" Sorry. No false advertising there. It was Just.That.Good.
I think I'd have thrown up the banana bread on the drive back!

Breathe. Gasp. Breathe. OK. I think I can breathe again. I'm not sure even the world's best banana bread could entice me to make that drive. Hike... on foot... maybe. I'm so glad you had a great adventure. It looks like a memorable vacation for the whole family.

We were on the Big Island and decided to drive up the coast toward the volcanoes. About 45 minutes into the back and forth drive I swear we were both car sick we turned around and came back. I don't remember EVER being that car sick.
Glad the ride was worth it! And I'm terribly impressed with the picture of all of you!

Holy Crap, that Julia has figured out the secret to life, hasn't she?????????????????? Cripes. I wanna set up a treehouse at the top of paradise and maybe sell The Best Oatmeal Cookies On The Planet or something. Maybe it's already been done. Heh.
I like Claudia's idea about the gorillapod! You and I have to get some!

The wind would have been the clincher. I wouldn't have gotten out of the car for the best CHOCOLATE on the planet.
