Big Fun on the Big Island

Last week we spent 6 days in Hawaii on a fun filled vacation on the big island. We stayed in the Kings Land Vacation Club which is co-located with the Hilton Waikoloa and which is a really great family friendly resort. There is almost too much to blog about from the trip as we alternated days out on the island seeing local attractions like Volcanoes National Park to rain forest to black sand beaches. We could have spent our entire time on the resort and never partaken of all of the activities they had.

For example the pool area alone at Kings Land had a 3 level pool, faux beach, volleyball net, basketball hoop, 2 hot tubs and 4 water slides. There was also a game room, fitness room and daily activities for the kids. They also had a pool side bar which had a nice happy hour and made great Mai Tai's . There was also a massive pool and salt water lagoon over at the Hotel site which offered different and new kinds of fun.

One of the days we went to a local beach called Hapuna State Beach which we were told (correctly) was extremely family friendly. Turns out it was really great and there was just the right combination of waves so that everyone had fun. Nicolas was a maniac in the waves so much so that I think it was a bit unnerving for Melissa.
