When Miriam was about four years old, she became obsessed with volcanoes, and we thought that might be a good excuse to plan a trip to Hawaii. Shortly before we actually left on our trip, Hans learned to walk, and at some point managed to break his arm, so we got to plan our beach getaway with a toddler with his arm in a cast. It worked out...did you know they make special water-and-sand-proof cast covers?
We spent about 10 days in Hawaii, divided between Oahu and the Big Island, where we did indeed see volcanoes. We swam, hiked, ate tropical fruit, macadamias, and plenty of shave ice. Miriam, especially, had a great time. Our quote of the trip was from her: "I say 'Aloha!', then they say 'Aloha', then I giggle, and then we're friends!" And that is why we travel.
