I won the mommy of the year award while at the winery; with the car parked right outside the window I strapped my kidlets into their carseats, rolled the windows down and put a movie on the computer for them to watch! I know, I know...don't shower me with accolades. P.s. I only had 3 sips of wine but Jai and I did walk out with 6 bottles!
Next stop, Mauna Loa macadamia nut factory. The entire time we were driving there I couldn't get the jingle from their local TV commercial out of my head!! Mauna Loa, Mauna Loa, Mauna Loa...ACK!!!!
We headed over to the Rainforest Zoo...it was FREE! However, I think they should start charging admission if it means the poor white tiget gets to eat! That thing looked emaciated...
Pretty picture of lily pads and some neat flower
After the zoo we headed out to take in some more scenery at a couple of waterfalls
That's Akaka Falls. We also visited Rainbow Falls but it had NOTHING on Akaka Falls...so, no picture :)
Our time in Hilo was drawing to a close so we headed to the retail shopping area of town and grabbed a bite to eat. We also made a pit stop at the local ROSS because as any good bargain shopper knows all ROSS stores have something different..you should ALWAYS stop!
We headed out to the airport; Hawaiian Airlines departing terminal had a really nice waiting area. There was a local group playing Hawaiian music and they also had hula dancers! It was VERY relaxing.
Then, we were off to O'ahu...
Thanks Jai for going with us, we had a great time and hope you did too!
