Coconut Island- immediately after they landed in Hilo
Akaka Falls on a very warm morning
Jams at Mr. Ed's in Honomu
Hakalau- This bridge was originally the train trestle.
Mango daiquiris with our own mango purée
Early morning on the Kona side-as seen from the chartered fishing boat we were on
Another sunrise shot on the boat
The first Ono/Wahoo he caught-about 20 pounds
His second catch-A 48 pound Ono!
The deck hand swiftly cut up our 70 or so pounds of fish
It was both adventurous and relaxing...
Besides catching it, he made the best sashimi ever-so incredibly fresh
He also dipped some in rice flour and fried it in coconut oil-my most favorite cooking oil
Daughter had to have a visit to Ken's House of Pancakes, of course.
Then a great walk at Carlsmith Beach Park, just past Richardson's.
It was gorgeous out there.
Another fine feast prepared entirely by our sweet guests.
Ready for grilling...
Ono in teriyaki marinade
Saying goodbye is so hard...
But they had a great visit.

What gorgeous photos! Looks like a great time was had by all.
What a wonderful, loving journey you all had together. Beautiful.
That is just...wonderful! I can't get over those fish!
If you'd have told me a few years ago that I could take pics like this with a cell phone I would have laughed.
We all had such a great time together. Thanks.
It really was,Robin. I miss my kids so much sometimes, but visits like this one help a lot. Hoping they can all be here together in September!
Wonderful, no doubt! We ate lots of fish before they left, shared bagfuls with neighbors and friends, and froze plenty for future enjoyment. Ono is my favorite, and this was the best I've had yet!
fabulous, wonderful, memorable. what an experience for all. That fresh raw fish -- omg. The beautiful faces of the kids, wow, just wow.
It sure was. So great, seeing my daughter and her boyfriend totally blissed-out here. Plus he can fish! And cook!
Awesome photos! We're going to be on the Big Island this summer. It'll be fun to visit some of those places. My brother is so jealous of that ono.
That's great, Kay. Seeing those Ono go from ocean to our table was a fantastic experience. Beautiful fish, and so delicious!
