My Happy place is a lava rock lookout below KoKo crater in Honolulu, Hawaii. My husband, Anthony, is in the Air Force and we were stationed there from 1990-1996. We discovered this place not long after we moved to Hawaii. We went snorkling for the first time at Hanauma Bay, and afterwards decided to do a little sight-seeing. Well, we only had to drive about 2-3 minutes and we saw cars parked and decided to check it out. The rest is history!! There is a sign that says people should not climb down onto the lava rock, but of course, we are adventurers and the beautiful sights lured us down the un-marked path!
We immediately claimed this place ours and our special place. (smiles) This location is so special that we visited often. Whenever we go back to Hawaii, that place is always on the list. It will also be our resting place, and where our children scatter our ashes when we are finished with life's journey. Enjoy!

This is when you get out of the car and look out at the ocean from the top of the lookout:
This what I see when I climb down onto the lava rock, sit, and just take in the beautiful view of the ocean and God's creation!:
This is a close up shot of the waves hitting against the lava rock!:
This is my attempt at creating a path from Hanauma Bay (snorkling!) over to my happy place. Hanauma Bay is only about 2-3 minute drive from the Lava Look Out:
