I spent the good part of my Saturday at the beautiful Volcano National Park, about an hour out of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii. I put my baby in a back pak and off we went. We walked for about three hours on the edge of a huge cauldron like hole in the earth from a volcano, it was amazing. The forest lined the edge of the cauldron and it was a beautiful contrast. In particular I loved when the afternoon sun peeped through the clouds and brushed against our skin ever so gently. It is a rugged and cold mountain climate so the sunshine was a welcome beam of warmth and beauty.
