We spent a good portion of the morning enroute to Volcano National Park. But we did stop for malasadas and coffee at the Punalu'u Bake Shop. We actually stopped their three times. Abigail enjoyed the malasadas every time! Malasadas are a Portuguese treat, deep friend and covered with sugar. As Abigail said many times, "I like sugar!" My dad grew up eating them in Oahu, so they were an absolute "must eat" treat during our vacation. They're even better with 100% Kau Hawaiian coffee. Kau and Kona are both regions in Hawaii, hence where the coffee gets its name.
Sugar and freedom from her carseat made this little girl very happy!
We then stopped at the Punalu'u black sand beach. The black sand is made from the volcanic rock and a very unique experience. I am a big fan because the sand does not stick and cling to shoes and clothing. We didn't stay long for fear of being blown away; it was a very windy day! The girls did enjoy playing in the sand and finding smooth white rocks, coral that had washed up on the beach.
Abigail was more interested in the sea turtles than me, of course.
