Kauai

Dad treated Mom and I to a beautiful, fun trip to Kauai this year for some mother daughter time. I forgot how much I love Hawaii. It's almost painful to be there... but so perfect, beautiful, and serene. It sounds cliche, but my soul feels at home there. One day I hope to be able to live there again and am so grateful I was able to spend time there with mom this year.

On to the trip however.... We did a lot of fun things and relaxed and surrounded ourselves with all Kauai's lush beautiful glory. We saw Kauai from the water on a riverboat, from the air on a helicopter,  from the road on our trip from one end of the island to the other at Waimea Canyon, and from the dirt on a grueling 8 mile hike on the Na Pali Coast, a place where the only way in or out is to walk! We snorkeled, shopped, ate and much more. It was a fun week and I'll let the pictures speak the rest for themselves! We took these pictures ourselves. The landscape is so amazingly beautiful, you don't have to be a professional photographer to make it look stunning!
