Throwback Thursday - Kauai 2013

Today we are embarking on our Alaskan cruise, and looking back at our vacation two years ago in paradise.

Make your own free scrapbooking design We had the best time in Kauai with my parents. Like all trips to Hawaii, it was over much too soon. Some of the highlights were: Flying first class to Lihue (thanks, Dad!). Our oceanfront view. Smith's Tropical Paradise Luau. The train ride around the Kilohana Plantation. A boat ride up the Wailua River to the Fern Grotto. Dinner at Oasis on the Beach and Duke's Kauai - amazing views. And, of course, there is the lovely scenery, the chickens that are everywhere, the roar of the ocean, gentle rain showers, tropical flora, shave ice, and that aloha spirit. Michaela was a great traveler (she gets that from her daddy). She called our condo "Grammy's House in Kauai". So cute! She loved making sandcastles on the beach with Grammy, but wasn't too excited about getting into the ocean water. Mommy had a great time, and I'm trying to figure out how we can go back next summer.
