Most Random Burger Stop Ever

After finishing the drive to Hana and then continuing on, we saw some really beautiful stretches of highway with a whole different type of scenery.  Much more open and almost desert-like (the dry side of Maui) with cows roaming and not many signs of civilization - except Bully's Burgers.  We were hungry and not sure when our next food options would come up so we gave it a go.  (Poor Cheryl doesn't do burgers, so she ended up waiting a while for food…)

This pig pen was set up next to the old picnic table where we sat.

These burgers were made on aloha time, but we enjoyed the view while we waited.

Haleakala National Park

We drove along the Hana Highway and got to explore some of Haleakala National Park.  Here are some beautiful shots from the trek:

Yes, this tree is real!

A little hiker in the making!

Roslyn could not get enough of being in the water. 

She loved being washed over by the waves!

Love!

I think she's ready for swim lessons.

Squeals of delight!

Daddy says it's time to go.

This is what happens when she has to leave the water...

Lovin' the sun.

Playing in the water!

We got to do a lot of fun things in the water, including checking out some tide pools, and a whole lot of body surfing.
