A weekend at Bellows.

We had the opportunity to spend part of a weekend out at Bellows AFB.  The water color is amazing; the view of the mountains is divine.  The cabins on the beach at Bellows are booked in advance.  As in, one year out, advance.  It's very hard to get a reservation.  You have to be sitting at your computer when the reservation date opens and you play the "reservation" war. The Mankins family was fortunate enough to get a reservation for Mother's Day weekend.  They offered to let us stay in the second room of the cabin.

We arrived on Saturday morning. The cabin was on the waterfront and had a straight line of sight to the beach.  We could sit at the picnic table and see the kids down in the sand by the water.  The kids played in the sand for quite awhile.  Amber joined in the fun too!

We spent of lot of time in/at the water.  We walked down to the area that divides the two sides of beaches. It's the perfect spot for the young ones to play.  The water is shallow and it's warm.  We caught (on camera) some crabs something themselves on the rocks.  And, a honu graced our presence.  

We roasted marshmallows over the grill.  We had yummy teriyaki burgers.  We had good fun, good food and good conversation.

We woke up to a beautiful sunrise.

It was a fun weekend.  I'm glad that we had the opportunity to stay out at Bellows.  It's my favorite beach on the island; my scope of beaches is fairly limited though. I love that it's windy and never TOO hot.  The color is pretty awesome too.  I can cross one more thing off of my Hawaii bucket list!
