Hawaii- Kona

After such a busy day in Hilo, we were looking forward to relaxing on the beach in Kona. We did some more snorkeling and soaked up some sun!

When we were done, we wandered through some shops and bought some island fruit from this flea market...

When we were taking pictures with our cruise ship in the background, it was pretty obvious we were tourists. A local guy told us that there was a live web cam that pointed right at the lawn we were on. He told us the website, so we could call home and our kids could see us in real time! It was so fun to call them and know that they could see us, but it made us all a little homesick. I am so grateful to my parents for watching the kids while we were gone! It is so nice to know that they are happy and loved while we are away!

We headed back to the ship to get ready for our night. We had a balcony room that I loved! I being able to open the door and hear the ocean and feel the breeze through our room!

We tried to get some pictures of all of us before the sun set, but we never could get out of our rooms on time! :-) This is as close as we got...

After dinner, Jeff wasn't feeling well, so Jen, Jason and I, goofed off around the ship without him. We played darts in the saloon...

And went to the much talked about "White Hot Party"! The crew members said it was fun. We were skeptical because the average age passenger was 50! They said everyone should wear white and some of the crew member do a dance and it's a big party. We didn't have anything else to do, so we went.

It was fun to get out and dance! Jen noticed this girls who could seriously move her booty like nothing we have ever seen! It was like it had a mind of its own! Have you seen Cameron Diaz do her little booty dance? It was kind of like that! Crazy! I had to ask her how she did it!
She thought it was pretty funny and tried to teach me!

"Am I doing it right?!"

We laughed pretty hard! We missed Jeff. We thought about trying to wake him up, but the next day was our big zip line day and we wanted him to be up for it.
