Escape to the Big Island

Back in August we stole a nice week or so away from reality and relaxed on the big island of Hawaii.  We stayed at the Mauna Kea resort and enjoyed lots of swimming at the beach and in the pool, making sandcastles, kayaking, morning runs, too many Fredricos, some golf, picnics at the beach and family time!
