We were still not quite adjusted to the time change (6 hours behind), so we thought it would be a good morning to get up early and go up to the top of the volcano for sunrise. Everyone said you had to do it at sunrise because it was a breathtaking sight. The top of Haleakala is 10, 023 feet, so it takes about 2 hours to reach the top. We were up at 2:30 am and out the door shortly after.
There were too many clouds to see the sunrise, but we still took some pictures. How often are you on top of a volcano?
Even though we didn't see much on top, on the way down was a different story. We kept pulling off to the side because the view became more breathtaking at every mile. As the sun rose, it cast the most beautiful light across the island of Maui. It was a beautiful reminder of how amazing God is!
We headed back to our villa and all took a good nap. That afternoon we went to the beach, and then we ended the day at our favorite pizza place, Lahaina Pizza Co! We loved this place last time, and we couldn't wait to take the girls. As we were eating, there was a beautiful sight of the ocean and an American flag. It was a great way to remember all the brave men and women who had given their life for our country. It was a great Memorial Day!
