Mission Location: Tropical island of Kauai, Hawaii
Mission Dates: August 17 - August 24, 2008
I think the knowledge that we would be leaving to Paradise(a.k.a. Kauai, Hawaii)helped me survive "Outdoor Adventure Part 1" (see the post below for those details). Four days after arriving home from my camping trip with the kiddos, Josh and I boarded a Hawaiian Airlines flight bound for Hawaii, with our little Landon in tow. This trip was a slightly delayed celebration of our 10th wedding anniversary (Apr. 25th) and Josh's MBA graduation (May 25th).
We owe some big "mahalos" to my parents for inviting us to join them on their tropical vacation, for allowing us to stay at the beautiful Kauai Marriot Resort and for planning such a fun, enjoyable, adventurous and relaxing trip. We also owe a big mahalo to my brother(Doug) and sister-in-law (Jess) for watching our other 2 highly energetic kids during our 8-day getaway. (Even though we are trading babysitting services, somehow we think we ended up with the better end of the trade.)
We had over 300 photos on our camera alone....which means it was hard to choose which ones not to post. Hopefully, you'll enjoy experiencing Kauai through our eyes. Here are the highlights of our week:
1. WaimeaCanyon (a.k.a. "The Grand Canyon of the Pacific")
2. Napali Coast Zodiac Raft Adventure Tour/Snorkeling/Sea Caves/Lava Funnels (and boy was it an adventure!!)
3. Smith's Luau
4. Playing in the Sand
5. Lounging in the Pool
6. Water Volleyball
7. Beautiful hotel scenery
8. All-You-Can-Eat Seafood Buffet
9. The Beach (need I say more?)
10. Relaxing :)
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
