Beautiful Kauai!

Waimea Canyon - our beach house was at the foot of this beautiful canyon.

Taken from 12th floor at the Marriott Resort - we just visited here!

Don't you love these roots?

The kids were having fun at this place. We just watched - I was so sore from Na Pali hike the day before.

Na Pali coast hike - 4 miles round trip that seemed like 40.

Typical part of the trail. We were both happy to reach our car without any major injuries! Remember I broke my toe just walking to bed few yrs ago! I did fall off a rock into the water at the beach and bruised my shin but it could have been so much worse. I was so happy to have my hiking shoes on. There was a local hiking it barefoot! There have been deaths at that beach by hikers swimming and getting swept away. There were many warnings posted not to swim there.

Destination reached on Na Pali coast hike -- I was sure wishing our car was here!

Beautiful sunset!

Don got a kick out of this sign at a beach park.

Taken on Na Pali coast boat trip. See the back pack tents on the cliff? Wow!

This is one of my favorite pictures showing the gorgeous Na Pali cliffs and waterfalls.

The water was such a pretty aqua color in this particular place along the Na Pali Coast

We were told a James Bond movie was filmed where a helicopter went under this arch.

On our Na Pali boat tour. See the whale behind Don??? We saw quite a few whales.

Our boat was able to go inside a sea cave. Way cool!

Lots of waterfalls on this island.

Fun trail! We really enjoyed hiking on this trip.

Another beautiful rainbow.

Oh the views from Waimea Canyon! It is called the Grand Canyon of Hawaii.

We couldn't believe all the chickens on this island! They are EVERYWHERE!

Taken at beach across the road from our beach cottage at Ole Kamaole's where we stayed.

View from our beach house. We loved listening to the ocean at night!

Don couldn't resist!

Do we look happy to be here or what?
