Aloha

I'm writing this post from beautiful, warm Kauai. A week or two ago Josh and I were talking about how nice it would be to go to Hawaii this winter. The winter has been rough with lots of snow, cold weather and illness after illness. So, after a lot of internet searching and phone calls, here we are!

This is our fourth time to Hawaii together and second time on Kauai. This trip is very different from our past visits to Hawaii - we haven't gone out to a meal once the whole trip (unless you count scarfing some Baja Fresh at LAX before our flight), haven't spent any time sitting by a pool with a mai tai, haven't gone bogey boarding, haven't gone snorkeling. Well, you get the point. Despite this and despite Maya coming down with croup and not going to sleep until 2 AM, we are still having an amazing time. The girls love the beach and love to play in the water. They love to run around the beautiful manicured greenbelt next to our rental house in bare feet and love to get wheeled around in the little red wagon we rented for them. Watching our two little girls run around in bare feet and cute sundresses makes up for those mai tais I'm missing this trip!
