The bottom photo is of my mother, and I at the summit minutes after the sunrise. If in Maui I would highly recommend going up to watch the sunrise on Haleakala. It was an amazing opportunity, though I had to get up early for the drive, and the weather was extremely cold; the view made it all worth it.
Most people have heard of the Bucket List, a list of things you want to have achieved before you die. Well there's mine on the right side of the screen. I thought this blog would be a fun way to document each item as I accomplish it, and hear others opinion's on my Bucket List items. If anyone ever finds my little blog, feel free to leave comments, I'd love to hear from you. It would amaze me to have people decided to follow it!

71. Stand At The Summit Of A Volcano
Not only did I get to stand on the top of a 10 023 ft volcano, but I also got to watch an amazing sunrise from it's peak. I'm not surprised that this bucket list item was accomplished in Maui, Hawaii is a group of islands created by inactive volcanos. We had to leave the condo around 3:30 am, and drive in the dark up the dormant volcano of Haleakala. It was interesting going from swimsuit weather at the base to putting every piece of warm clothing I owned on as we approached the summit. Wrapped in a blanket, sitting at the summit I watch the sun creep over the horizon.
