The Three Coconuts

Thursday night.

We knew Friday was to be spent at the Volcano Park, we have been having so much fun that we just didn't want to take the time to drive over to the south east side of the island. So with the plan being to be away tomorrow evening this was to be our last night out in Kona. We had been saving dining at Paha i'a for a special night. This restaurant is located North of Kona in the Four Seasons resort. It is beautiful, exclusive and has the fluffiest green grass and fairways that look like velour. The restaurant itself is open air, with a spectacular view of the sunset and the outline of Maui. Even a slightly well padded Hawaiian in native dress who jogged around the perimeter of the seating area with a torch to light the outdoor lanterns and blow on his shell....how do you put that job description on your resume? The food was pretty undescribable. Everything was just the best it could be. Portions were small, but with this type of restaurant we expected that. What we didn't expect was the complimentary s'mores pit!! They set up a fire pit on the beach in front of the restaurant and stocked crackers, marshmellows, chocolate and sticks for toasting. This was a huge treat after a fancy supper. Some serious trash talk going on after I thrashed Tyler in the ocean this morning... now she says she can beat me in the pool. This all started because we decided to put fins on her to go swim tomorrow morning so that she could keep up and we could make it out to the buoy. Swim battle is now on.
