Kauai

This last week Cara and I went on a 5 year anniversary trip to Kauai, without Sienna. We had a very difficult time leaving our baby at home, but once we arrived we had a wonderful time. And if it wasn't for Sienna being at home, I am not sure we would have returned. Here are a few things we did to keep ourselves busy:

Swimming and snorkeling at Tunnels Beach on the north shore. The reef there is so big, it can be seen from space! We saw some beautiful fish and saw a giant turtle up close.
Kayaking up the Wailua River early one morning while the water was calm and smooth.
Hiking to and swimming at Secret Falls
The rest of the time I surfed at Poipu while Cara worked on her tan and drank virgin Lava Flows. There was an amazing south swell that came in a few days before we arrived creating consistent shoulder-high surf throughout our stay. Check newsstands for next-month's edition of Surfer Magazine to see pics.
We also ate, ate, and ate. Here are some of our favorites:
Tip Top
Roy's
Dukes
Keoki's Paradise
Puka Dog
Monico's

Sienna had a great time stomping around the city with Grandma, visiting the zoo and performing her routine at gymnastics. Thanks, Sue, for taking such wonderful care of our little girl!
