Sands of Many Colors

Well Hello There!!!!!!!!!
I wanted to start this post off with something random and some what silly before getting into to this group of scenic pictures from my Hawaii honeymoon.  I came across this card in a local grocery shop while my husband and i were grabbing some waters and beach towels before heading to the many beaches we visited this day.  This card illustration caught my eye bc, well, Im not real sure what the heck this guy is doing?!?  Buuuut it makes for a nice card to send home to mom, right?  haha  Anyway, continuing from my last post, after the trailing was over, we decided to visit as many beaches as we could squeeze in for the rest of that day.  All the beaches in hawaii are public, so we were able to see a lot of different types of beaches.  Some with red sand, some with black sand, and some big and some small.  Each day, my husband and I woke up, looked at a map and tourist magazines/brochures, and said I want to go there!  There is so much to see and so much exploring to be done!  If you are planning a trip to Hawaii, I recommend renting a convertable jeep with a gps!  A fun ride to get you from one side of the island to the other side is a must.  Until you get to go on your trip, here are the third batch of pictures from my trip that will hopefully tie you over!  :)

Palm Pictures!  I cant help myself!  :)
We heard there was beach that had red sand!  So, of course, I had to see it!  But it was so hidden and private that it took us forever to find it.   It was the weirdest thing, we basically had to go thru someone's back yard to get to "mars" is what im calling it.  And this is the sign we see... I love the fact that the "owner" of the land that this beach is on added NOT in the last sentence.  Um, legally that's NOT gonna work.  haha  Anyway, we passed up the bogus sign and move towards the red beach.
And this was pretty much it!  Not so much the beach that we could use our beach towels on, buuuuuut, it was pretty cool to see the red sand and to experience the scavenger hunt the locals took us on to get here.
Lots of twigs and sticks and very little red sanded beach area.  Joey and I didnt go down the cliff to walk this beach.  It prolly gets better, we just wanted to get to the next beach.  Another couple we were with, explored it more than we did.  NEXT time, i suppose!  :)
Next beach had BLACK sand!
Black sand, a bunny, and a lot of rock!  :)
Some "nature" I spotted on the ground near the black sanded beach.  coooooool!  hehe
Don't swim out too far, I have many more beach shots and Hawaii pics to come!  :)  *cheese* :D 

XO,
Whitney
