This last week D and I went to Hawaii (Kauai) with my parents. It was SO much fun! We couldn't even remember the last time we went on a vacation together for more than a weekend! We both decided that it was the summer before we even met...so sad. So anyway, it was well deserved! We landed late Friday night and stayed until late the next Friday. We played hard and explored the beautiful Island. It is called the Garden Island and we could see why. It was gorgeous! The middle of the Island is the wettest spot on earth and rains more than 400" of rain a year. There are rivers everywhere and in 1992 there was a hurricane that released chickens on the island, so there are also chickens everywhere...and I mean everywhere! And the islanders say that their chickens are dumb because they don't know when to crow so they crow all day long. It's the truth, but the trip wouldn't have been the same without them. Donavon said I took too many pictures of the chickens but I say you can never have too many.
The first few days we explored the Island. Thy have a mini Grand Canyon and it was so beautiful. We stopped at McDonalds in the morning to get breakfast and then headed up the canyon. By the time we were half way up we all felt so sick (partly because of the breakfast and partly because of the drive) that we stopped at a quick lookout, took in the sights and then headed back down. The next day we drove around the island to take in some new sights. So that is what these pictures are. Enjoy and more to come soon!!
View from hotel room...actually bed. It was heavenly!

I love the chickens too. Emily and Molly remember the chickens from their previous trip to Kauai and were disappointed that they're not all over Maui too. What's a trip without them?
Oh beautiful Hawaii! I actually think we might be going at the end of next month if money works out, we just miss it so much. Ryan actually might look for jobs over there so we could be future residents! Love the pics, and the view from your room really was amazing. Hope you got some nice color, oh I miss that.
