We are back from a great week in Kauai! We had never been to Hawaii before and...wow we are hooked! It is just such a beautiful place that is still so natural and fairly untouched by commercial things. Already dreaming about going next year! I have soooo many pictures that I thought it would be easier to break up these posts by day.
We left Saturday morning and faced an 8 hour flight to Honolulu, then an short flight from there to Kauai. I hadn't bought a seat for Connor and was hoping there would somehow be an empty seat for us to use. When we boarded the plane we were so excited to see that the entire flight was full except for TWO seats directly across from us! Not sure how we lucked out to pay for three seats and end up with five! Mason did great on the flight, played a lot of games and slept. Connor was definitely tougher, he didn't sleep so it was pretty hard to keep him entertained. When we finally arrived at our condo we had been traveling for nearly 16 hours! We all went straight to bed and woke up super early the next morning thanks to jet lag! I immediately searched for a nearby coffee spot! We found one in Hanelei, a cute little town about 5 minutes away. We left before dark and got there just as the sun was coming up!
After coffee, we headed out to the beach! Mason was sooo excited! Poor Connor was a little terrified of the waves. If you have seen the movie "The Desecendants" with George Clooney, this is where a lot of the beach scenes were filmed!
After leaving the beach we took a little drive to explore!
That evening before dinner we took a little hike to a deserted beach! It's so crazy that you could spend
probably a year here going to different beaches and still not see them all!
Sorry for the ten million pictures! Stay tuned for day 2!
