THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND MY FAMILY AND I ESCAPED TO THE BIG ISLAND. WE EXPLORED THE TOURIST FILLED STREETS OF KAILUA KONA WHERE WE DISCOVERED LOCAL EATERIES AND BEAUTIFUL BEACHES. LATER WE VENTURED ALL THE WAY TO THE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS OF WAIMEA TO VISIT A FAMILY FRIEND. ALTHOUGH THE TWO LOCATIONS ARE JUST ABOUT AN HOUR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER, THERE IS AN EXTREME YET INCREDIBLE DIFFERENCE IN SCENERY. KAILUA KONA'S SURROUNDINGS CONSIST OF GIFT SHOPS, RESTAURANTS AND FARMERS MARKETS, WHILE WAIMEA IS FULL OF LUSH FOLIAGE. THE MOUNTAINS ARE ENGULFED IN FOG AND SCATTERED WITH LOCAL COWS AND OTHER FARM ANIMALS. EVERY SIGHT HAD ME AWE-STRUCK AND I HAVE DEVELOPED A NEW FOUND APPRECIATION FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE UNTOUCHED NATURE ON THIS LUXURIANT ISLAND. WE EVEN HAD A TOUR OF A LOCAL COFFEE FARM IN THE CAPTAIN COOK AREA. A LOT OF HARD WORK AND TLC GOES INTO ACHIEVING THE PERFECT, 100% KONA COFFEE BEAN. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A SHORT VACATION, IT WAS ACTION-PACKED AND FULL OF ADVENTURE. IF YOU ARE EVER IN SEARCH OF A CALM, NATURE-FILLED VACATION, THE BIG ISLAND IS THE PLACE TO BE.
