Tour guide Leslie pointed out this YMCA camp as we passed on the way to the beach. It was used on the show LOST as the “Others” camp. Since being home Andy and I have started watching the show again on Netflix and WOW it’s totally Hawaii!

This was one of those adventures that didn’t exactly turn out as planned. We started out on the trail along the beach, it was going to be a mile in and we were supposed to find monk seals. Leslie had seen them there several times before. The trail was a bit rocky but really flat and not that bad…except the kids kept running and wiping out. Seriously, like falling five times between the two of them. We used up all our bandaids, but they didn’t help the whining and complaining. I’m not sure what the issue was but we finally decided to call the trail quits and headed down to the beach.

It was really beautiful here, the mountains just immediately jutted up from the ocean.

Sandy butt!

The kids ended up having a blast playing down by the water. Waves were too big to swim in, but they had fun running away from them. We found lots of pieces of coral and little treasures here too. It ended up being a nice adventure after all :)
