By the time we had finished ziplining we had really worked up an appetite. We planned on stopping at Holy Smokes BBQ, a food truck, which had received wonderful reviews everywhere I looked online. We were a little concerned because it was starting to drizzle and the only seating was outdoor picnic tables.

Our favorite family adventure is ziplining! In fact, I planned an entire trip around ziplining down the side of a mountain in New Hampshire during the fall. The first time I took my children they were 11 and 15. It was terrifying. There was only one line and when you stepped off the platform you had to freefall for about 10 feet before the rope was taut enough for you to begin zipping.

One of our favorite places to eat and watch the sun set on the island was Lava Lava Beach Club. It is located on Anaeho’omalu Bay, walking distance from the Waikoloa Marriott. They are open for lunch and dinner (11am –

We stayed at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort for the next 4 nights. We chose it for its location and its price. It has two swimming pools, beach access and two restaurants. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The staff was very helpful and pleasant to interact with.

After surviving our snorkeling adventure, we went off in search of more food and shopping. We went to the touristy shopping haven on Alii Drive. I honestly can not remember where we ate, so it must have been good enough that I do not remember it negatively,

Have you ever hyperventilated while underwater trying to snorkel? I have, can’t recommend the experience. In fact, if you keep hearing the phrase “Shark Bait!” running through your head while you are putting on your snorkeling gear, you might want to consider staying on the boat. Why didn’t I stay on the boat?
…
We ended up heading to the Holei Sea Arch, near the end of Chain of Craters Road, later than I had planned. My family was worn out from our long day in the sun at the Green Sand Beach and were not very cooperative about getting back in the car for another drive.

I think everyone knows that there are white, black, and yellow sand beaches, but did you know there are also red, green, and pink? I have a mini bucket list going that includes seeing at least one beach in all of these colors. I had all ready seen black and yellow before our trip to Hawaii,
