Kauai

a week in paradise

We arrived in Kauai on Sunday, so we went to church and just relaxed the rest of the day

This was the beach across the street from our hotel.

The picture below took us about 20 tries before we got a good one.

This is the big kahuna of the ziplines called King Kong and its about 1200ft to the other side, I had quite the embarrassing time on that zipline for more details go to Brandon and Michelles blog

Brandon, Michelle, and Rob all went snorkeling for their first time and loved it. I'm not very fond of swimming with critters all around so I opted out and stayed on the beach

These are the gardens around the Luau

This flower was given to me by an older lady that worked at the luau.  She hand picks flowers from her house everyday to put in her hair for the luau, and the first person that compliments the flower gets the pleasure of taking that flower home. Lets just say I was pretty jazzed to take that home.

We had been hearing about JoJo's for a long time from my parents, so we decided to give it a try. They had really good macadamia nut ice cream at the bottom of the shaved ice.

This is what they had on the front door. Everyone on the islands are so laid back. 

Our last day on the islands we hurried to the airport to see if we could get on any earlier flights to Honolulu so we could see the temple, and campus.  After all the trouble over the phone with the airlines, we finally got on a flight and were able to see a few things on Oahu
