One More Day on Kauai

After another relaxing morning at our condo, we got everything all packed up and were on our way to check out more sights near Kapa`a and Lihue.

We started with coffee and shopping in the beach town of Kapa`a.

This guy had a pet chicken!

Cute sign in Kapa`a town pointing to places around Kauai.

After shopping we walked down the the beach which was just two blocks away!

More chickens!

This beach was spectacular.


From Kapa`a we drove inland to see Opaeka`a Falls.





Just across the street was a lookout over the Wailua River.



Will's been to Kauai a couple times for short work trips and has a favorite lunch place near Lihue, where the airport is, so we took him up on the recommendation and were quite impressed! We enjoyed some amazing fish tacos in an open air restaurant right along the beach.


We walked along the beach while we waited for our lunch.


There's a Harley-Davidson dealership in Lihue and we had to be sure to stop by to get some souvenirs for Mom and Dad. The people there were so friendly and even included a couple extra goodies for Mom to take home for Dad!


After talking story at the Harley dealership, we made a quick visit to the Kilohana Plantation where Will and I got some Koloa rum to take home, and Mom found a beautiful picture of the NaPali Coast for decoration at home.


Then it was back home to Oahu, which isn't a bad thing!


Our beautiful island home!

Happy Halloween!

Image
Even though last year was technically Adeline's first Halloween, this year felt like the first true Halloween because we got to go out and enjoy the festivities! The Temescal Business District hosted a Trick-or-Treating event for the kids and had fun activities along the way like free books from the library, story time, a dance party at the yoga studio, costume contests, and more I'm sure but we only made it a few blocks! We had a great time and the businesses were so generous and kind to the kids. Our little ladybug! She would only wear the wings from her costume, but she held on to the wand and headband. There was a fun skirt, too but she didn't want anything to do with it. Oh well. People still thought she was cute! Getting some raisins. Still trying to understand the concept of Trick-or-Treating! Dance party at the yoga studio. Aunt Mary's Cafe made fresh baked "Witches Fingers." Adeline loved hers but we got stuck in the B...

Happy Birthday Will!

No, today isn't Will's actual birthday, it's June 10th, but he is going to be in Hawai`i for a work trip, so we celebrated a little bit early today and made it into his birthday! Continuing with the theme of exploring new places with this beautiful weather, I drove Will out to Stinson Beach and Bolinas for the day. It's about an hour away, and again, thanks to being up early with Adeline, we pulled in and got a great parking spot right before the rush. It was such a gorgeous (but very windy, as in curvy, not strong wind) road! We started our day with brunch on the patio at Breaker's Cafe. We walked around the "town," all one block of it, and saw that there was live music at the other restaurant across the street, Sand Dollar Restaurant. (Yep, two restaurants!) We grabbed a seat and a drink and soaked up the beautiful weather. Adeline loved the music! And she even got a super cute onesie from one of the waitstaff! So cute she's getting free things ...

Play Time!

Our friends Nate and Emily gifted us this wonderful play gym that Adeline just loves! Today was her first day playing on it and she had such a good time holding on to and playing with the animals, watching the mobile on top and listening to the music, and even got in a little tummy time! Here's a video for you to click on:
