Kauai!

We had so much fun on our relaxing  trip to Kauai this past week. (May 25-June 2nd)   We felt like we were in paradise  We stayed at the Marriott  Resort on Poipu.  It was  amazing, I could have stayed at the  resort the whole time and been happy! 
This was the first night we got there.

The resort...
One little set back when we got there...Spencer's bag did not make it with us.  We got it the next day and we were so happy to have all our stuff! 
Our view...

Chilling at the beach by our resort. 
We saw lots of beached seals.



We went on an amazing helicopter tour across the island and along the Na Pali coast.  




It was SO cool! 




This is the water fall in Jurassic Park.  Part of  the movie was filmed here.  

 The Na Pali  Coast



All of us a little wind blown from the chopper. 
Hanging out at Ship Wreak Beach on Popui. 
That's Greg jumping off the rock. 
Alli and me getting some sun! 
Jax was a trooper with his cast on his arm.  
We ate at the world's famous Puka Dog.  They say they are the best hot dog's around!  
The next day we went to a private beach that's open to the public during the day.  Spencer  worked on his body surfing.  
We bought this sweet board at Costco while we were there, we got good use of out it.  




Alli ad Jax  modeling! 
Our hike down to  Queen Emma's Bath.






Good thing we all made it out alive! 

Watching all the  turtles! 


We took a swim  in Queen Emma's Bath. 



I couldn't stop taking pictures, everything was so pretty and green! 
After the hike we found another beach to play on. 

We stopped at  Hanalei  Bay.

The next day the girls did lots of laying out and hanging out at the resort.


Our beach view! 
The guys went golfing. 








Our visit to Waimea Falls



Another afternoon on the beach! 





Our last night we ate here...it was delish! 
Our last morning we woke up at 5:20 to see the sunrise, it was beautiful! 
 Then we went back to sleep for a few hours. :) 



Totally worth waking up for!! 
Us at the Spouting Horn, wasn't too impressive.
We walked through the botanical gardens. 




 Drove through the tree tunnel one last time. 
 Then all good things must come to an end...we were so sad to leave! 
It was a much needed time away.   I loved every minute of it! 
  Now back to reality!
