Punalu'u Bake shop- Hawaii

We went to the southernmost bakery in the U.S.A! It is called Punalu'u Bakeshop. Visitors tend to stop at this side-of-the-road bakery on their way between the Big Island's two major towns- Kona and Hilo. When we first arrived to the parking lot, I immediately smelled the delicious scents coming from the bakery. There were beautiful flowers, freshly cut grass and fish in a pond near the picnic area. A man was playing live music as well.

When we entered the bakery there were samples of Hawaiian sweet bread- taro, guava and regular. Yummy!

We had a hard time choosing our treats. Chelsea ended up picking up their best seller- lilikoi glazed malasada. Lilikoi is a passionfruit and the glaze was unbelievable. I enjoyed my strawberry-filled malasada and Parker liked his chocolate-filled malasada. Mom and Dad split a coconut turnover.

This was a great stop!!

I am looking forward to sharing pictures and stories with you over the adventurous year ahead! This picture was taken a couple of years ago so we are all a bit bigger now!

Slovenia - Ljubljana

A Long Time Coming... COVID wasn't much fun for anyone. We fared well, but amongst the things COVID destroyed was our wanderlust - we stayed close to home, and leaned into Canada . Well, with COVID gone(ish), we've started to feel the "itch" again... so we're back on the road - this time on a Euro travel leg. We pickup our adventures in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Why Ljubljana (Slovenia)? Slovenia is beautiful . It's northern alpine regions are spectacular, boasting emerald lakes, rugged mountains and a notable lack of traffic. The entire country feels under-sold - like tourism is about to beat down its door... and that's why we came. Ljubljana is in the center of Slovenia, wedged between Venice and Zagreb. It remains a quaint, friendly, accessible, well-organized and authentic experience. Ljubljana is a great place to decompress after overseas travel. Once you've reset your circadian rhythm, Ljubljana becomes an incredible launch po...

Velika Planina - Slovenia

Velika Planina, in a Nutshell This could have been Heidi's village Ever wish you were Heidi ? Well, it turns out, you can find the backdrop you need for your make-believe at Velika Planina in Slovenia. You can hike (a few hours) or take a cable car up to a high-altitude plain where you will find a village nestled on the lee-side of an ever-present windy peak. A hearty people live here - a tribe of herdsmen. They build unique huts, in an ancient way, and allow tourists to explore their space/land. This is not an adrenaline jolt, but it is quaint and unique and undeniably historical. Come for the views, stay for the peace and quiet. Getting Here The cable car runs fast and saves a lot of time and effort... we'd recommend it You can hike up to this peak from the valley, but it is pretty high at 1600m - a good slog on a service road. Alternatively, you can take a cable car up from Kamniška Bistrica . We did the latter - the kids wanted to 'save the...
