We went to Kauai, Hawaii for our last big trip before our baby is born in December. It was a glorious week of paradise in the land of tropical plants, red dirt, and roosters. We drove up and down the island and saw many, many beautiful places and listened to many new Hawaiian reggae songs.
Everyday we went to a different beach. The beaches on the south shore are safer for swimming and the north shore beaches are beautiful, but dangerous for swimming. I saw a sea turtle at Anini Beach. Jason saw many large fishes at the beach in front of our hotel. It is a wonderful thing to go to the beach everyday and lay on the sand.
We also drove up to Waimea Canyon. The canyon is amazing. It looks like the land before time. On the way back down, we stopped to explore by the side of the road where the dirt was really red. The reason why the dirt is red is because Kauai is so old.
Jason and I ate shave ices and they tasted like a sno cone on top of ice cream. The next shave ice Jason ate was much different. The trick is to keep the blade sharp! Maybe we will open a shave ice shack in Fairbanks one day.
We went to a beautiful waterfall. There were beautiful white birds with long, sharp tails swooping back and forth across each other over the waterfall.
There was one day that we did not go to the beach, the day we were supposed to leave was rainy. We went to the Fun Factory in Hapaa and Jason played Pop Pop Pop a shot. We won a million tickets, but Jason told the lady to give them to a little kid.
We did not make out flight home! So we got to stay another two days in Hawaii. Leaving Hawaii is very hard. The next time we go back we will have our baby with us! A keiki.
My baby update is that I am heading into the 34th week this Sunday, almost at the homestretch.
