One of the best things about Kauai is the variety in the landscape. There are incredible wet jungles full of green vegetation. There are baby powder soft brown sand beaches and crisp blue water with white capped waves. There is the Napali Coast line with its rugged, razor sharp cliffs. And then there is Waimea…
What a day this was! We woke up about 5:30am to get a 6am start to our day. All the adults wanted to do the hike but someone had to watch the kids so we split into 2 groups. A morning group and an afternoon group. The hike was 8 miles round trip and we…
Helloha! That’s Leo’s Hawaiian greeting 🙂 We have been planning this Cornell family vacation for a looooong time. I can’t believe we’re now looking at it in the rear view mirror.

Our Left driver from the airport to our hotel was so helpful and informative and got us super excited when he kept recommending food choices that were already on our list! We were staying at…

Hanging out with the horses and getting treats from the Ice Cream truck the day before they drove to Utah. Hotel swimming Halle was so sad that Mave would cry when she tried to hold her. It took lots of bribing, but Mave finally started loving Halle again 🙂 Carlie had an “Ice Cream…
