Maui June 27th- Sunrise at Haleakala

We finally did the sunrise at Haleakala!  We’ve been trying to do this for years…however our kids were always just a little too young.  This year was prime!  We left our hotel at 2:30 am and arrived at 4am – a full hour and a half before sunrise.  Google said it would take 3 hours to get there, google maps said 1 1/2 hours….and google maps won.  It was okay, we had a little nap in the car before sunrise.

The satellite on top of the mountain.  I love the moon over it.  Okay, just for this view it might be worth getting there 1 1/2 hours early.

The people watching the sunrise with us.  You could stand inside this building (it was so cold outside), but then you’re sight was blocked by those braving the cold!

So many layers and every blanket we could find…and we were still cold!  Zack didn’t last too long so we went and watched the sunrise in the van…which actually was very nice!

The drive down was so amazing too.  I took 50 pictures just holding my camera out the car window.  I only posted 2….you’re welcome.
