Hawaii - Day 12 (Hiking Diamond Head & Pali Lookout)

Chris, Dad, Jaden and I got up early to hike up Diamond Head. I really thought Jaden was going to back out at the last minute, but he insisted he was going.

And he was AMAZING. This was NOT an easy climb!

You drive into the crater and start from the middle:

It's definately not a very pretty hike to look at from the inside:

we got closer to the top:

and stop to check out the lookouts:

and then we continue on and finally see our "reward":

Honolulu:

I think my dad has the pictures of us together up on the top, but we also got a certificate showing that we made it!

After our brisk hike, we took a drive to see if the Blowhole was blowing, but it wasn't blowing very well. ;)

So we headed over to the Pali Lookout, which was SO WINDY, and pretty chilly:

The cliffs:

The kids and Chris took a short? hike up but since they were only wearing flip-flops and it was a very steep trek, they had to cut it short and come back down:
