Visit Catalina Island: Lloyd's of Avalon

Of course we stopped to get some ice cream while on Catalina Island.  We ended up at Lloyd's of Avalon , where one of the employees told us they source the ice cream from various vendors (so it's not housemade). Cookie Monster Mocha Almond Fudge Bubble Gum Honey Churro I had the Honey Churro, which was a little too sweet for my liking. Everyone else loved the ice cream flavors they chose, however. The ice cream definitely helped to beat the Catalina Island heat! Lloyd's of Avalon 315 Crescent Ave Avalon, CA 90704

Visit Hawaii Island: Kalopa Nature Trail

 

For a really easy hike amidst towering native trees and through a path alongside native shrubs, a walk along the Kalopa Nature Trail is ideal.  

This hike can get muddy and mosquito-filled, so proper attire, footwear, and insect repellent is a must.

The hike itself was relaxing and also very informative.  Plants are identified with signs along the path, which is very easy to follow.  

It was neat to see  many native plants I was unfamiliar with - I always love learning about and seeing new things.  

We also saw a number of introduced, invasive species - which made me wonder why they don't just try and pull out all those plants versus highlighting them . . . 


It's a quick .7 mile loop - very kid-friendly, and it was really nice to be out in nature, even if just for a little while.  
There are no restrooms by the trail, but you can find them by the camping lot just before the Nature Trail parking lot.
