We did such a long hike yesterday that we decided to take a break and head along the north-east side and go to Waipi'o Valley. We had great weather again. Yay! The kids enjoyed it because they like rolling down the hill there. :)
After Waipi'o Valley, we stopped at Tex's Drivein for fresh, hot, malasadas (Portuguese doughnuts). Oh so good! Then we stopped at Laupahoehoe Point where the tsunami of 1946 killed a group of school children, teachers, and families. They have a little memorial shrine for the lost. It is a very beautiful place. Someone else did a great blog of the point. See it here.
Then we visited the Hawaii Botanical Gardens, or as Michael Jr said, the 'Mechanical Gardens.' Beautiful place. We didn't get there till 3:30pm, so we only had 1.5 hrs to look, but that was enough. We ate at Cafe' Pesto (the one in Hilo, not Kohala), then hurried to Rainbow Falls. We got there just as the sun was setting. It was still pretty!
Pictures here!
