Day 7 - Our final day

This post is picture overload so beware.  We had a spectacular day today. It started before the sun came up for us. Today happened to be a record cold setting temperature before the sun came up, I think it was 52 degrees or something, so it was a bit brisk as we made our way to the boat launch. We boarded the redline raft and we were lucky to have only 2 other couples on the tour with us.  We went out to Molokini to snorkel and we snorkeled the front and back side, then we went to 2 other locations to snorkel.  We did whale watching along the way and saw some really neat dolphins/false killer whales.  No one knew what they were, so that was a cool rare site.  We had a wonderful morning on the ocean and saw some beautiful fish and whales.

We headed to the beach after our morning on the water and enjoyed one last relaxing afternoon soaking in some rays.  We decided to watch our last sunset at Big Beach, and beauty was our reward.  So sad to see the sunset on our vacation, but I am feeling so relaxed and refreshed and grateful after some time away from the cold and crazy life in Spokane.  Back to real life and ready for some more months of winter.

-Happy and blessed to be together on this awesome vacation
-I think these bright yellow fish were my favorite
-We were able to see 4 or 5 turtles and swim right next to them.  They were a lot bigger then I expected
-Snorkeling!!!
-I love that we were able to see this side of the lava fields.  We had driven out to see these from the other side, but the ocean side was incredible.

-This is me and I am glad the bubbles are in this picture because they looked so pretty rising to the surface, of course the picture doesn't do it justice, but it helps me remember.
-We got someone to take our picture looking out over Big Beach-thank you random person.
