We woke up long before the crack of dawn this morning and drove to Haleakala to watch the sunrise! We entered the park around 5:30 AM and drove up 10,000 feet in altitude then hiked up a short hill to the viewpoint. It was absolutely stunning! Pictures cannot capture the colors and glow of the sun as it rose over the fluffy clouds. As the sun rose, there was a beautiful spiritual song that a man I could not see sang. It was a very special moment especially considering we rarely get to watch the sun rise. Afterward we got acai bowls and picnicked/napped on the beach in Paia! It is an adorable town on the water and I loved poking in the many boutiques. We drove back in the afternoon and arrived home just in time to see Duke win against UNC! Wonderful day all around!!
