Anyway, back to vacation. My daughter and I are headed back to the Big Island of Hawaii. My parents are retired there and I can’t wait to get back each year.
Are you looking for a Big Island vacation without the big price tag? Check out my mom’s rental. Two bedroom, two bath, and kitchen. It’s perfect for a family and saves some money on the process. Mention Pint Sized Baker for a discount 😉
