hawaii- day 8
march 29th
we woke up to our last day, not willing to accept the reality that we'd be boarding planes headed back to "the mainland" this evening. recognizing that we had an entire day to play, however, we rented a boat- put captain thomas at the helm, and headed for the high seas.
although thomas was clearly on the throttle, molly did her best to convince us all that this was truly her boat. she'd do her best to ward off pirates with her trusty blue sand shovel (her new favorite toy), and couldn't get enough of the ocean breeze in her hair.
kristin, lisa, and molly.
just outside of the harbor, we were able to locate a group of "spinner" dolphins. smaller and seemingly more playful than their bottlenose relatives, they were amazing to sit and observe.
after a short ride over to some phenomenal snorkeling at captain cook's bay, thomas headed away from shore- out to the open ocean. when we got to a depth of about 500 feet, the ocean water took on a surreal deep blue color- and he encouraged us to jump in, open our eyes, and look down below us. an absolutely incredible experience!
while kristin was out being brave in the open ocean, molly and her abuelita enjoyed some time back on the boat, but when mom returned her little bug came right back for some towel snuggles.
and, back to the old harbor- a symbolic ending to an amazing week.
