Kalapana Beach Haven

Our Vacation Home

We spent five days in a beautiful home outside of Hilo on Kalapana Beach Haven Road. We were there to celebrate Brit's birthday. Dan treated nine of us to 5 nights in the most beautiful home with fantastic views. The house was fully stocked and furnished. We were all very comfortable. Here are a few photos...

The weather was cloudy most days. We had a couple days of sun. On rainy days we managed to entertain ourselves with puzzles, singing, working on our sketchbooks, cooking, eating and just generally enjoying each other's company. No matter where we are, we always have fun being together! I love my friends!

Rainy Day Activities

Singing, Laughing, Dancing and having fun!

Sketchbook Night

"Buddy" Gecko and a few of his friends were always watching over us!

One day we drove to the beach in Kailua-Kona. It was sunny and beautiful on that side of the Big Island. Snorkeling, surfing and frisbee were enjoyed.

We had many more adventures. The highlight of our trip was our outdoor birthday celebration for Brit. Joe and Natalie made a sumptuous dinner, including barbecued fresh fish. Darcy provided us with glow sticks and we enjoyed Mochi birthday treats!

Happy Birthday Brit!
