Big Island

After a week in Oahu we'd covered the entire island. We had such a great time on the island but it was time to get on a plane fly for 30min. and go to the Big Island. There Joel suprised us at a hotel that was titled the #1 best hotel in all of Hawaii and once we got there I understood why. Once we landed we grabbed a shuttle who took us to the hotel. The ride there was amazing. The driver was giving us the scoop on the area and told us what a great place we were staying and that you could get to your room by walking, boat or tram. I laughed but once we got there he really wasn't kidding.

Welcome to the Hilton Waikoloa Village.

In our room was a little dolphin with a note this is a gift for you. How sweet until I opened the car with your donation of $15. Whoa Hailey get all the hugs you can out of Daisy Dolphin! and she did.

At each hotel there was a favorite spot in the room that Hailey enjoyed. This one had a little cubby hole underneat a safe. She would crawl in and out and then punch the numbers to the safe. Soo funny. We just hope the person that needs the safe can actually get it open.

Here was where the boat would go through. It was like a little city. Hailey loved the boat ride.

This was a connection to a restauraunt. They had quite a collection throughout the hotel of places to eat.

Dolphin pool.

Here was one portion of the hotel. We were on the other side.

This was Hailey's favorite place to play. No sand, No grass, No cold pool just sprinklers.











We got a great workout to get to the sprinklers, they were on the other end of our hotel so we got to enjoy the scenery while walking over.

The lagoon was a nice spot to stay also. No waves and fairly nice temp. and you got to swim with the fish and the turtles. We saw at least one turtle each time we went.

Our first day was just a day to rest. We'd done so much we just dropped our stuff off at the hotel put on bathing suits and crashed in the sand.
