In 1997, my family took a vacation to Hawaii.  We went to Oahu and the Big Island of Hawaii.  This picture is taken on the Big Island on a white sandy beach.  My mother and brother are pictured with me.  Hawaii was one of our best family vacations ever!  The weather was great, and the beaches were amazing.  The Big Island has so many different ecosystems.  There are deserts, rain forests. and even mountains.  We also saw the Volcanos National Park.
