Ryan posing beside pool at Hilton time share |
|
|
|
White rocks from beach. Black rocks are old lava flow. |
|
|
|
Behind our time share condo is The Beach Course, an 18-hole golf course |
|
|
|
Hollywood and his lady. |
|
|
|
The Waikoloa Beach resort (where our time share was) had one swimming beach. |
|
|
|
This white rock beach was beside the swimming beach and behind the Hilton Hotel |
|
|
|
Hilton Hotel pool, viewed from a swinging bridge. |
|
|
|
The Hilton had a dolphin show. |
|
|
|
This turtle was swimming into the Hilton lagoon from the ocean, as seen from the bridge we were walking on. |
|
|
|
Entertainment at the shopping mall that was a part of the resort. |
|
|
|
You can take the boy out of the Midwest but, there are still things that remind him of home. |
|
|
|
A swimming beach in Kailua-Kona, the city we flew into. |
|
|
|
We could have stared at the ocean for hours. |
|
|
|
Ever heard of Kona coffee? |
|
|
|
Still at Kona Joe's |
|
|
|
A black sand beach - more like gravel than sand. |
|
|
|
Black sand beach before Ryan had been swimming with the waves. |
|
|
|
Our time share unit in the background. More lava in the foreground. |
|
|
|
A close-up on the pool where Ryan posed earlier. |
|
|
|
Another view of the Beach Course behind our time share. |
|
|
|
Hollywood posing in front of the office/clubhouse of the Hilton timeshare |
|
|
|
Another golf course image |
|
|
|
Dad got to play a round at the course and Ryan got a short ride in the cart. |
|
|
|
Mom sure knows how to take an action shot. This is from the 6th fairway. |
|
|
|
An exotic bird on an island at the Hilton Hotel. |
|
|
|
This is why we spent a lot of time at the Hilton Hotel pool instead of the time share pool. |
|
|
|
Ryan got to take a class and swim with the dolphins. |
|
|
|
Who's kissing whom hear? |
|
|
|
Dad & Mom didn't get to do this. |
|
|
|
Not much grey hair yet. |
|
|
|
Wow! |
|
|
|
The Western side of the island is pretty arid with lots of evidence of past lava flows. |
|
|
|
Dad really liked photographing this course. |
|
|
|
This is why there aren't snakes in Hawaii. |
|
|
|
The waves were really big our last two days there. |
|
|
|
This waitress visited the Hooters in Kansas City to get her shirt. |
|
|
|
Family Schmidt having a great time. |
|
|
|
Ryan received an autographed balloon saying he's the cutest guy in the restaurant. |
|
|
|
This shrine outside of St. Michael's was made of sea choral. |
|
|
|
A Happy Guy... |
|
|
|
A gecko that had lost its tail - he'll surely grow another. |
|
|
|
Ryan took this picture as we were getting ready to depart Kona. |
|
|
|
Flight was oversold so we got to stay another day. |
|
|
|
Sheltered from the big waves, a lagoon where we could feed the fish. |
|
|
|
There's the waves. Aloha! |
