An Island, A Vacation, A Moustache…

Debbie, Caleb, Trevi, and I had a great vacation in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii!  Here are some highlights and a few pics:

The Kids at The Pololu Valley Black Sand Beach

Caleb has swimming bracelets to enter the pool area and 3 watches (one arm is digital, the other is analog). #ANewFad

At her request, I painted Trevi’s fingernails. She calls this a strawberry french manicure. #ANewFad

This vacation was brought to us by Panama Jack (and not Gillette). #moustache Think I should keep it? 🙂

See more pics I tweeted here.

Soon, Debbie will have more pics up here.

See pics from our last trip to the Big Island in 2008 here.

Vacationing with Volcanoes, Smoke, and Tornadoes

We’ve been on the Big Island of Hawaii this week!

Debbie took this picture when we were here in the summer of 2008.  Since that time we were asked if the University of Hawaii could include it in an online textbook for one of their courses on geology.  Amazing picture of the volcano, the plume, and if you look closely mini-tornadoes.

Hope you are enjoying your last week of summer as well!
