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!

    Dig the pics. Thanks for sharing. The Napali Coast one illustrates that song: 'Never will I roam for I know my place is home. Where the ocean meets the sky I'll be sailing.'

    Welcome back,

    Looks like you had a blast! We should compare photos because it looks like we did almost all of the same things when we were there a couple summers ago. Makes me want to go back....like right now would be good! :) Now back to reality!! :(

    great pics. I especially like Waimea Canyon it looks like a garden version of the grand canyon.
