Our last day...and SEA TURTLES!!!!!!!!

Our last day at the resort :( We met some people walking down one of the beaches and she later found a sea urchin and put him back on the rock so he didn't die. He was a purple one.

There's Josh.
We made our way down to a beach that is rumored to have sea turtles that come on the beach to sunbathe. We wanted to see sea turtles SO bad all week and had no luck...UNTIL we made it to this beach, where we ended up seeing four or five playing around!
He's in the center here. The bottom is rocks.
We could walk out on these rocks and get pretty close to them swimming around
Here are two, a mom and a dad turtle. They're under the water near the bottom of the picture.

We didn't get lucky enough to catch one when it came out to sunbathe, but this guy came VERY close but we think he was just teasing. They usually don't come out till afternoon and we were there until around 11. But we were very happy that we got this close!!! After this, we went to a small town and had the BEST coconut shrimp and lunch, Josh got his last chance at some good fish before we left. Then we went to a world famous little general store that has these great sno cones with ice cream. Then we headed to the airport and it was...

MAHALO & ALOHA HAWAII!!!!

We had such a blast and hopefully we'll be able to go again in the future to see some of the different islands.
