Family Spring Break vacation to Hawaii Big Island. What could be better?

This shawl is a nod to our week in Kailua-Kona (home of the Ironman Triathlon) on the west coast of the island. It’s to remember our daily walks from our hotel down Ali’i Drive to the shops, restaurants, and a fantastic farmer’s market and seeing all the little beaches along the road and waves cracking on rocky shores. It’s to remind us of nature in all its beauty.
