Hawaii 2012 - Day 3

Day 3 - Natalie wanted to see "red lava" so when planning the trip, we decided to rent a home near Volcano National Park for the next 3 days.  It was a beautiful, peaceful 3 bedroom home with a hot tub in Volcano Village and we just enjoyed it so much.  Although it rained ALL DAY long, we still had alot of fun exploring the park. Currently, part of the park was closed so we decided to drive the Chain of Craters road all the way down to the ocean. It was pretty windy but it finally stopped raining long enough to take some pics. 

 

 

 

 

We headed back to the house for lunch and naps.  Matt and Natalie enjoyed the hot tub and Lisa and I went back to the park to do some additional hiking.  Afterwards, we all went back to walk thru Thurston Lava tube and to see the glow of the red lava.
