Believe it or not, the main reason we planned our family trip to the Big Island of Hawai‘i wasn’t to spend time at the beaches, it was to go hiking in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. We love to visit beautiful tropical destinations with our kids, so when we found out that the Big Island was home to some excellent hiking, we were in!

Three Days in Los Angeles with Kids
Ahhhh… is there anywhere nicer than Southern California? With endless sun, sand, theme parks and Hollywood, visiting Los Angeles with kids is a great idea for a family vacation.

We had a great time visiting the major kid-friendly attractions in Hollywood, while a day at the beach was simply amazing.
