on one of the "free" days the boys had in kona, a few of us went over to kealakekua bay where the captain cook monument is. we rented kayaks and made our way over to the monument. the water was beautiful - it was this weird combination of crystal clear and deepest blue. it was just gorgeous. i loved it. we made our way to the monument, which was about a mile or two so it took us a good 45 minutes or so. i can't say enough - this was my favorite thing we did in hawaii - the whole day was so great!
the view
kayaking was so fun!
weston wasn't much a fan of snorkeling, so he swam over to the monument while i took full advantage of the time we had.
we had this ghetto little disposable waterproof camera, but the photos are decent enough.
this was hands down my favorite thing! it was so much fun!
i'll save you the commentary of "here is the coral, here are the fish, etc."
enjoy my amateur photos :)
a la finding nemo: the drop off
when i tried getting the film out, i didn't have it rolled up all the way,
so i wondered if any of the photos would turn out.
there was definitely some light leak (the orange in these last few), but not so bad...
there were so many fish, and so many different kinds of fish.
normally i don't love the idea of being in "their" world, totally invading.
but it was just magical - i would do it again in a heartbeat!

weston and me before we saddled back up in the kayak to head back. doesn't he look thrilled?
2 quick quips:
That's funny that he wasn't down for the snorkeling. I think it's kinda weird at first, but then once you get used to the whole breathing while your head's underwater thing down it's totally awesome. Ocean kayaking, however, it my absolute favorite. That's cool you got double kayaks. I've only been solo, but I could have kayaked forever! So fun.
Oh weston, how can you NOT love that???:))))
