We bought these googles since we forgot the nice ones we bought in Cali. These were terrible, but they were only about a dollar.
Lots of time to read. I reread a favorite book of mine, "The Patron Saint of Liars." Felt very luxurious
The Beach House Restaurant for our postponed 7th anniversary dinner. We were in Kauai with Dan's family for a friends wedding 8 years ago before we got engaged. This post contains flashbacks!
Waiting for the Beach House 2006
Not a bad view anywhere you look
Breakfasting on the patio at the Grand Hyatt (we were not staying there)
Adventure 1: ziplining
I was pretty nervous. Getting ready
First run, here we go.
Dan was not nervous
Funny thing, our guide was from Santa Rosa too
Did it! Turned out to not be too scary after all
Hiking to different runs
Dan coming in hot
Looking down
Crossing the canyon
Afterward there was an option to swim in the beautiful river. Dan and I were the only adventurers that were brave enough. Felt great because we were super hot.
Adventure #2 Kayaking the Wailua River to a hike of Secret Waterfall. We did this exact tour 8 years ago together. Great to relive the trip.
After kayaking a few miles we stop for the hike. 2014

Back to present day. Glad Dan is no longer wearing those flame swimming trunks!

2006 with family
The reason we came! I got some great time with my former roommate Lianne. We shared a room for 3 years and a house with a total of 5 girls. Lots of memories here!
Waimea Canyon. Always breathtaking.

Adventure #3 - Spontaneous trail riding! We stumbled into this tour the morning of the wedding. Driving around near the beach we saw some stables. We got out and talked to the rancher who convinced us to hop on a horse for the tour just leaving. It was a highlight!
In bathing suits and borrowed boots and socks we are ready to go!
And off we went to the wedding we had come for in the first place. Congratulations Lianne and Dave!
2006 flashback from Steve and Leah's wedding across the island at. We looked like we were going to the Homecoming Dance.
Perfect ceremony! So special to see Lianne marry a great man.
Lawn games. It was fun seeing other Cal Poly friends and people from way back in the day (Lianne and I were both Mechanical Engineering majors together). No one knew the rules to these lawn games, so we made them up and they kept changing depending on how good your argument was that you should get more turns.
Moment with the bride
And her pretty hair
Last day of hanging at the Plantations Gardens before going home to our Little Ones. I really missed them a ton.
One last flash back in Lianne's old bedroom at her parent's house from 2006
