Wednesday was our last day in Hilo and we were lazy. We slept in way too long and didn't head out till the afternoon. We said goodbye to Zach's Dad and decided to set out to the town of Volcano where there are active volcano sites. It was another rainy drive but beautiful to see the Hawaiian countryside. We got to learn about volcanos at the visitor center and the active crater was super cool. It was an eerie feeling being out in the great lava field though, it felt what the end of the world might feel like.
Just a giant hole in the earth spewing lava, no big deal right!! Actually, it was pretty memorizing and scary at the same time.
After visiting the lava fields we headed to the other side of the island to check into our hotel. It is about a 2 hour drive and we didn't get there until pretty late. The resort was deserted when we finally got there but that didn't stop us from wandering around the grounds. We found a large sea turtle and of course a bunch of other water creatures during our midnight exploration.
Our room came complete with matching robes and slippers, I had to wear it at least once. Our room was lovely and the view of the ocean was perfect.
Thursday would end up being the only day we spent by ourselves and it was exactly what we needed. We had breakfast together with a beautiful view. After breakfast I headed to my spa appointment and Zach went back to the room for a nap.
My cute spa dress. Nothing like a relaxing massage to start the day out right.
After the massage we did exactly what I had been waiting for all week. Beach, sun, hubby, books, crossword puzzle and a pina colada(or two). Dream come true. We also spent a little time in the water snorkeling.
After relaxing at the beach we headed to dinner at a Steak house and had the best meal we had eaten in a long time. After Dinner we watched a Tahitian Dance performance and shopped around for souvenirs.
To end the day we took a late night dip in the spa and pool which we had all to ourselves. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day. Zach and I should have more days like this one for sure, it was such a reminder of just how much we love each other and need alone time together.
