We had a late start due to some heated rounds of ping-pong and a strong desire to relax.  We were in the van and drove to one of the most populated/largest white sand beaches on The Big Island.  When we arrived, we got in the water immediately.  It was very hot on the coast, especially for the day before Christmas.  When we were finished at the beach we went shopping, seemed like we all kind of caught the bug.  We arrived back home in the afternoon, tired from the sun and the excitement of spending the day together.
