Hawaiian Anniversary: Day 3

I loved the kitschy mailbox by our room and the trees that lined the road between the east and west sides of the island. On the third day, we drove up the west side of the the island to the northwest point and found DT Fleming beach as recommended by Tawnia. They spent their vacation here just two weeks before us. When we got there it was windy and rainy, so we stopped long enough for a bathroom break and to look around quickly. 

Then we got back in the Jeep to visit a couple beaches we had passed along the way. We ate our lunch at one and Patrick went wading for a bit. The waves broke pretty much on the shore so it was tough for him to keep his balance. I watched him get bowled over a time or two. We also watched the different birds that were hopping around. There were some red-headed ones that were fairly bold looking for crumbs.

The next beach was lined with lots of black rocks. If you held still and looked closely, you saw little jet black crabs crawling around and in between the rocks. It was hard to get a good picture of them since our phone cameras didn't want to focus on black specks on top of black rocks.

We made our nightly facetime call with the girls from here. I think they really liked being able to see the ocean and beach.

On our way back to our room, we stopped at an overlook. You can see such a  difference in the vegetation here versus what we saw at our sunrise beach from the day before.

Proof that we were both there together.
