No trip to Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii is complete without getting all hopped up on caffeine. The drive up the mountains to get to these coffee plantations are a little steep and challenging, but well worth it for the views #lifeatexpedia

This playground felt like something you'd find at Legoland or Disneyland. But no, this was a delightfully free place to stop alongside the highway in Hawaii! The highlight was the slide that took the kids through two and a half full turns in complete darkness. Good stuff!
