Cause You Had a Bad Day....

Ha ha ha! Hopefully I did it again, and now that song will be in your head the rest of the day! Jill and I heard that song at Safeway yesterday before we hit the road to see the volcano, and I had it in my head the whole day!!! But I love that song, so I don't care... ha ha, it makes me think of you Avila :)

So after Safeway for some lunch, we headed off to the volcano... on the way we stopped at South Point, which in the most southern point in all of the USA! Pretty neato! :) At south point, people go cliff jumping, but unfortunately, there were no cliff jumpers when we were there...

After we finished eating our lunch at south point, we continued on to the volcano. It rained at first when we were there, but it didn't last long. After we saw the plume of smoke coming out of the crater, we headed off to the lave tube... it was super cool, and super dark. You HAVE to have a flashlight, otherwise you can't see a thing. When we were about to go inside the tube, we met a family of five from Chicago who wanted to go too, but didn't have flashlights, so we had them tag along with us. It was super fun!!!

After the lavea tube, we headed off towards where the lave was pouring into the ocean and creating steam... we couldn't get too close, but closer! It was cool because we got to see where lava had over taken the road. There was a point before and after that where we couldn't get out of the car because of the sulfur dioxide coming from the volcano.

We didn't get home until about nine, so it was a long day... but it was lots of fun getting to see the island! :)
