On day 2 we went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. Hanauma Bay used to be a crater but over time it filled in with water and now there are beautiful coral reefs there. Chad and I had to take turns snorkeling because of Abby and so I was a little scared to go too far out, but not Chad! He went quite aways and saw 3 sea turtles! We also did some exploring of the island afterwards and on other days too. We pretty much saw the entire island except the northwest coast, where there isn't much to see anyways.

View of the Hanauma Bay from the vistor's center - from this picture it's pretty obvious that it used to be a crater.
Chad and an exhausted baby.
One of the southern lookout spots - we saw humpback whales spouting in the distance!
There were several plate lunch places - a plate lunch is one or two choices of meat, white rice and macaroni salad, served on a styrofoam plate (and cheap too). It was always really good!
This used to be a nice beach, still pretty but no one is swimming there now!
