Aloha! from Kauai. We returned once again to the beautiful garden island to celebrate (a little early) Evan's 30th birthday. Thankfully we found the beloved island almost as we left it over a year ago, with just a few scars from the recent flooding. Three weeks prior to our trip Kauai & Oahu experienced massive rainfall. During the "week of rain" Kauai alone received 46 inches in just a 24 hour period. It didn't let up after that record breaking day. However, it didn't seem to dampen the islands spirit. The people of Kauai are resilient and when asked how they managed during the flooding the "no worries" mentality that one might expect from living in paradise was present. Thankfully we didn't get record breaking rains while we were there, however we did enjoy some warm island showers. Great memories were made along side the Myers family (Andy, Alysha, Lucas & Gracie) and Evan's parents (Steve & DelRae).
With over 850 photos taken in 10 days this is just a peek. The kids had a blast on the beaches, chasing the birds & feral cats, swimming, catching tad poles, feeding koi fish and just enjoying their "buddies". As for the adults...well we enjoyed the beverages, warmth, some much needed vitamin D, snorkeling, hikes, breaks from work, and the company of dear friends. Once again we leave counting down the days until we return to this place. No dates set :) but dreams in our heads.
