Hawaii

Thanks to my parents' generosity in watching the boys and Dustin's airline/hotel point skills, we took a quick trip to Kauai as a last getaway before baby. So beautiful!

Day 2, I was unfortunately miserably sick, so I stayed in our gorgeous hotel room while Dustin explored the island. He hiked Waimea Canyon and went snorkling for the first time.

Day 3, I was feeling a lot better, so I was able to explore the island, too. After a stop at the farmer's market to enjoy Kauai's unique tropical fruits, we visited the Kilauea Lighthouse, seeing lots of birds and some spinner dolphins.

Then we took a hike along part of the Na Poli coastline.

We ended the day with a bit of snorkling on the beach (for Dustin) and a delicious sea food dinner.

Day 4 came all too soon.

Then a quick dip in the pool before it was sadly time to head the airport and resume normal life--a gorgeous, but fast trip.
