We were only in Hawaii until the 10th of February, but we enjoyed seeing Brian and Barb Vance and their kids and grands briefly before we left. Brian and Barb flew in on Friday and we made a flying trip over to Ookala to see the job before heading back to Waikoloa to get ready to go out to dinner at Brown's Beach House at Mauna Lani. Dinner was exceptional and the sunset gorgeous...and the company wasn't too bad either.
Saturday, after we dropped Brian and Barb off to pick up their car, we headed to Kealakekua Bay for some exercise and a day of snorkeling. We hadn't snorkeled for a couple weeks.
