Hawaii: Sunrise

Lucas and I "escaped" to Hawaii for a few well deserved days away from reality. Thanks to our parents, we were able to go to Maui for four nights. Four, amazing lovely days. Our first morning, we woke up EARLY, and drove up to Haleakala Summit where we could watch the sunrise.

 

Do you see anything? We saw stars, but it was dark. I suppose anywhere is dark at 0445. It was cold and dark.

Then, first light.

 We thought this was pretty, we had no idea what we were in store for.

 It was cold!

 We were above the clouds.

 Every minute the colors changed. It was truly beautiful.

 The sun rose around 0630. We quickly left the summit to avoid traffic and drove back down. Ready for beach time by 0800.
