Day 2 started very early Kona time. Because of the 4-hr time difference all the kids were up by 4 AM, so Mom was up at 4 Am. Luckily Cartoon Network runs 24-7. I plugged them all in front of that while i tried to steal an extra 40 winks. It kinda worked. after breakfast, we skimmed all the travel brochures we'd picked up the day before and made plans for the next several days.
After a quick run to the grocery store for supplies (by the way, milk was not $5 a gal, but eggs were $3 a doz., bread was $4 a loaf, and if it was on sale, the shelf was empty or nearly so--gotta be an ad shopper in Hawaii or you'd never afford to live), we scouted the nearby shops and sights. Only about a block up the road was a little farmer's market. We went there almost everyday they were open for a fruit called apple bananas. They are a smaller, fruitier version of bananas. We all loved them and couldn't get enough. We also saw some historical buildings, but due to a recent earthquake all were closed for renovation and repair, so we just took pics outside. We found a little half beach off the docks that we let the kids explore. They were in heaven and tromped through the surf and threw rocks in the ocean and Sam even waded out into it in his street clothes! :) This made all the stress and hassle of getting here, worth it.
