J found a trail run he wanted to do at the top of Haleakala so we got up early one morning and drove up - sunrise crowds can be busy and require reservations so we arrived just after sunrise and easily found parking. The view was amazing but it was a bit chilly at 10,000 ft of elevation.
J went on his 11 mile run while the girls and I drove to the end of the trail and enjoyed a picnic in the car while we waited for him.
The views were simply incredible and not enough pictures were taken.
On our last day, our flight was moved to 9pm so we had most of the day to explore. Our server at lunch suggested a gelato shop on the Road to Hana so we headed there and decided to go to the next stop, which was a beautiful surfing and turtle overlook. This was a perfect 'goodbye' to Hawaii before we dropped off the rental car and had dinner at the airport before our journey home.
This was such an amazing trip that I am so grateful we were able to have together.
