The boys were nearly fed up with this part of vacation due to the length of the drive. Robby came in to see me when I had started working on this post, and he said, "Man, I need to realize where I am when we're on vacations like this and to enjoy EVERY moment of them, because they go by fast. I admit that I didn't enjoy this little adventure as much as I should have just because of the drive...". He's growing up!
So lets take the first look at what the boy didn't enjoy all that much.
 |
| This was merely the parking lot! It's already beautiful! We're up on an very mildly active volcano and can see lovely forests and the ocean from our vantage point. What's not to like about this!? |
 |
| Another view with similar scenery with the ocean as the distant back-drop. |
 |
| This was a little visitor center that had a 3d model of the park and also let us know which roads were closed due to volcanic warnings and such. |
 |
| YES!!! Have I mentioned that I love volcanoes??? What could possibly make this better? |
 |
| Ahhhh... there they are! |
 |
| Caleb jacking around with Robby's glasses. |
 |
| This visitors center displays that show various methods of creating the different lava flows that we'll see. |
 |
| More of the same, only uh... different. |
 |
| Scenes like this were amazing from the air on our helicopter tour where you would have two vastly different lava formations side by side. |
 |
| This stuff is creepy looking! |
So that's it for part one. That was only the visitor center stuff and we have a WHOLE lot more to see!
