For anyone in the Portland, OR area, we wanted to let you know about the “Family Supper at Milagros” on May 3rd.

The 5/3 Family Supper will focus on budget travel to Hawaii for families.

We will be sharing tips from our experience there and welcome others who want to learn or share their own ideas.

The Family Supper is a casual vegetarian potluck for folks to meet and greet. In addition to chatting, each supper will have different topic for discussion.

The event is free but space is limited so a RSVP is required. You can find the details for the Family Supper on the Milagros event calendar here:

One minor detail, the petroglyphs are located in the Waikoloa Beach area. Waikoloa Village is 6 miles away upcountry. Also, there are more petroglyphs at Mauna Lani, the Puako Petroglyphs (www.kaleberg.com/hipetros.html). Not well-known is that the resort has ponds to breed green sea turtles with the University of Hawai’i. On July 4th, Turtle Independence Day, they are released to the sea. The Mauna Lani also has ancient fishing ponds on their grounds.

The Big Island is my favorite Island, especially the Kohala Coast – we are fortunate to have a timeshare which allows us to visit twice a year!

Until a few days ago, I didn’t realize petroglyphs were found in so many places. I took my kids to see the Jeffers Petroglyphs in Minnesota this summer.

Thanks for taking us along on your petroglyph walk. We walked that path in March and would have just loved to know that detailed story behind each carving.

We stayed in a condo in Waikoloa and just loved that area. It does suit all generations.

I just got “chicken skin” reading your story. What a great time it sounds like you all had on the Big Island. I have a special bond to the B.I. since I grew up there. As a local, we often take for granted some of these treasures and experience in our own backyard. These moments are priceless and we’re looking forward to taking multi-generational vacations with our family soon as well.

I love that! I think it is always good to get a little education and history squeezed into a vacation. I still haven’t been to the Big Island but I will keep this in mind because I WILL get there!

Sounds like a fantastic trip! Hawaii is a great destination for multi-generational trips — with just the right combination of history/culture, beach/watersports, shopping/dining, etc. A little something for everyone!

My other favorite multi-generational getaway is a cruise.
