Aloha

We're back from our vacation. We spent a week on the island of Kauai with my parents and my sister. Here's a quick picture review.

Mother's Day


Monday at Poipu Beach for sunning and snorkeling

Shaved Ice - a Hawaii staple
Don't they look like the epitome of vacation?



Monday was John's 30th Birthday. He opened cards while we watched the sun set on Poipu Beach.

The Sunset


Tuesday at Waimea Canyon


and the Napali Coast

We headed to the north side of the island on Wednesday.

Anini Beach

Ke'e Beach

John and I hiked along the Napali Coast

Here are a couple videos that probably aren't entertaining to anyone but us. The first one is my attempt to follow John down the trail. The second one is me saying hi to the rest of my family down on the beach below.


Thursday found us exploring the beaches and trails around our hotel. We lounged by the pool in the afternoon.

Aren't they the cutest?!

Friday we kayaked on the Wailua River. We didn't take our cameras for fear of flipping the kayak. We kayaked and then hiked to swim at the base of the "secret falls". Here are someone else's pictures of the falls (apparently they're not that "secret").

We spent Saturday in Honolulu before catching our flight home.

Thanks for humoring us by looking at our vacation pictures.

Aloha!

Wise words from the Office Mate

We had lunch brought in today for a meeting. They provided a few vegetarian options. A veggie sandwich with cheese.

Office mate: Do vegetarians eat cheese?

Kim: Yes. I thinks its vegans who don't eat cheese. I wouldn't know though because I eat everything. What do we call people who eat everything?

Office mate without skipping a beat: Fat. We call them fat.
I may have a very long to-do list before our Hawaiian adventure. But my toes are ready!
