Spring Break in Kauai

We had a wonderful spring break in Kauai. It was a truly relaxing time for Stan, Emily, Spencer and me. Maybe a little too relaxing for the kids, but we truly enjoyed spending the time with them. Below are a few pictures of our adventures. Now that we're back, we'd love to go again and really explore the island. We realized we missed a whole lot of stuff as we were watching tourist videos at the Marriott that last day we were there. Oh well, we'll just have to go again!

The trail up the mountain along the Napali Coast. It was rocky and steep, but really worth it for the beautiful view we saw.

Spencer and Emily were quite the hikers!

We hiked along the Napali Coast on the north western side of the island.

This is the coastline that we were hiking along the total trail is 11 miles, we only went in about 1 3/4 miles, but it was really cool!

Stan and Julie along the trail of the Napali Coastline. It was beautiful!

Spencer, Emily and Dad looking over a beautiful waterfall.

Chickens and roosters are native to this island...they run around everywhere. Instead of cats and dogs laying in the road, you see chickens!

Spencer and Emily really enjoyed jumping into this swimming hole! Spencer swung out on the rope, Emily jumped between waterfalls. They were both pretty brave!

Emily making the jump. She was the first to enter the water.

A beautiful lighthouse heading up the East side of the island.

PARADISE TRULY EXISTS...we just have to travel 5 hours on a plane to get there!
