We’ve made a couple of quick trips to Arizona, my husband to work and myself as a tag-a-long adventurer. We usually try to add a day to the beginning or end of the trip so that I am not doing all of my adventuring solo (both my kids are in college,

Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is an amazing rain forest preserve filled with native flowers, plants, trees, and waterfalls, ending at the rocky shoreline of Onomea Bay. It is a 40 acre valley where you will feel immersed in the rain forest throughout your visit.
