We woke up Sunday morning and went to the Hanalei branch. It was a beautiful little chapel with great members. There was a couple from the Czech Republic that had moved to Hawaii that spoke in sacrament meeting. They spoke about following the promptings of the spirit and how that led them to Hawaii. It was a great meeting. There were quite a few visitors as I'm sure there are all year round.
After church a group of us took one of the cars and went on a drive to Waimea Canyon. So we are directly on the north side of the island in Princeville and Waimea Canyon is on the west side. It would have been a quick drive if the highway went all the way around the island. But it stops just a little bit west of where we are staying so we had to drive all the way around the island to get to the Canyon. It was about a 2 hour drive but we had fun looking at all the scenery along the way. We passed through the city on the east side and then open land and farms on the south and west sides. It was pretty cool to see it all. By the time we got to driving up the canyon it was a steep winding road that made a couple of us car sick. And Chad's crazy driving didn't help. But we made it and stopped at a few lookout spots once we were there. It was a beautiful view of the canyon!
We spent an hour or two looking around and checking out all the scenery.
On the way back we stopped near some red dirt and rocks where a stream ran down the middle. It was so cool and pretty to see the contrast of the dirt against the clear water.
We got back to the condo that evening just in time for dinner. Chicken Alfredo from Costco and it was yummy. We stayed up late playing games that night. Tenzi was the favorite and Hayley was the winner!
It was such a fun relaxing Sunday and a good drive to the canyon.
