What a fabulous perspective for watching a glorious Hawaiian sunset --  UNDERWATER!
September 7

We headed back to Hawaiian Paradise Park to spend two more nights with Evan.
This Orchid bloomed while we were gone!  It's different than any of the other beautiful 
Orchids he has in bloom right now.
Greg and I both  did some catch up computer work and played with his animals while 
Evan was at work.  Then enjoyed a laid back evening and a great dinner!
September 6

Started the day with breakfast in the Queens Court!  Then went for a walk through Liliuokalani Park.
I added to by photo study of the incredibly beautiful Hawaiian trees. Check out the size of the car beneath the tree.  
We explored Richardson's Beach, then checked out Rainbow Falls and the river area above it.  Spent some awesome time in the pools above the falls ;-)  Evan joined us for sunset on our Lanai before going out for dinner and some good local music.  The day provided some wonderful photo ops and it was difficult to choose just one!
September 4

Checked in for our three night stay in Hilo along the waterfront of Hilo Bay.  Went for an afternoon walk; that's old town Hilo in the background on the left.
We met Evan for dinner then went to the unique & old original  Palace Theater to see the movie The Intouchables.
September 3

Happy Labor Day!!  And I am happy to report that there was no labor done here today!
We spent the entire day lounging around Evans abode.  I entertained myself by taking photos
within Evan's Tropical Paradise ;-)  Wow---one photo op after another!  VERY hard to chose a favorite.

Arrived in Hilo on the Big Island, Hawaii on Sat. night, Sept. 1 !!
Spent Sat. night and all day Sunday with my son Evan!
Day 1:   We did some touristy stuff starting with Sunday Farmers Market--was cool and fun!
Then we headed to Lava Tree State Monument.  I really like walking around in there!
One of the truly beautiful aspects are the Albizia trees!
My husband Greg and Evan, along with the car, are giving some perspective as to the size of the trees.

My husband was beginning some vacation time right after our trip to Cleveland; we had an overnight lay-over in San Jose, CA then flew out the next morning for Maui!  We spent a wonderful week with daughter Carli and her husband, experiencing much R & R ;-)
This was our first sunset, on October 8, with a full moon rising behind me!
