Babymoon II

We (meaning only Chad and I!) just returned from 7 beautiful, restful, and fun-filled days in Kauai, Hawaii. We could not have done this without my parents generous gift of a free place to stay on the Island (and two free plane tickets after we accumulated enough miles!), and both of our moms taking care of Rylie all week!!! Praise the Lord! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. No amount of chocolate macadamia nuts can express our deep gratitude!!



A few highlights to the week:
- Sleeping in
- Lots of eating out...and taking our time!!!
- Snorkeling with tons of fish, turtle and LOTS of incredible beaches
- Kayaking up the Waialua River and hiking to a beautiful waterfall
- A sunset cruise...AMAZING.
- Hiking along the Napali Coast for 6.5 hours...seeing dolphin along the way, and swiming in a 300 ft waterfall with dear friends of ours, Jack and Kay
- Simply getting to "choose our own adventure" each and every day!
- Eating at Puka Dog...the BEST hot dog in the world...seriously, I do not even like hot dogs, but we went here twice!
- Visiting our honeymoon hotel...what a wonderful and nastalgic place this is to us!
- Only being 4.5 months pregnant, so able to still be comfortable to do lots!
- Wonderful accomodations in our favorite part of the island...right near Hanalei!!! Paradise.
