Day 3 - 1st Day in Kauai

12/04/08 - We hopped over to Kauai the night before and got settled into our condo. We were up early again thanks to our little alarm clock, Parker, and Cait got a couple really good shots of the sunrise from our lanai.


After we stocked up on some food in the morning, we hit the beach for a day of snorkeling and relaxing in the sun. There are some better snorkel pics from some of the later days once I got the settings on the camera figured out a little better.

By the way, in case you haven't figured it out, you can click on just about any of the pictures to go to the complete web album.

That evening we went to check out Spouting Horn. It's a hole in the lava rock that shoots water up in the air when the waves crash in. It's also a great place to watch the sunset.

Days 1 and 2 - Honolulu

We had an amazing time on our trip to Hawaii. There are so many pictures to share and so much to tell that I thought I'd break it down into a few posts.

12/02/08 - The first day was spent travelling. It was a long day, but we were all so excited to get there that it didn't matter. Parker did awesome for his first time flying. He was perfect on the 2 plane flights, and didn't cry at all during take off and landing. We were pretty tired when we arrived late in the evening, so we just checked in to the hotel, grabbed some food, and hit the sack.

12/03/08 - Parker didn't adjust to the time change real well, so he had us up well before sunrise. That was ok though because we were only spending 1 day in Honolulu and we had a lot to get done. After breakfast we hit the beach as the sun came up for our first dip in the ocean.

Later in the morning we hiked up Diamond Head - an old volcanic crater. It was only .8 miles up to the top, but it was a pretty steep climb. The hike was well worth it though when we saw the view from the top. After cooling off and eating lunch, we headed over to Pearl Harbor. That was a little disappointing because it seemed like a big money pit for tourists. You had to pay for admission and then pay again for a tour to see anything interesting, and the prices were really high, so we just enjoyed the free stuff. It was nice to see the area in person though, and soak in the magnitude of what happened there.

Off to Hawai'i

We spent Turkey Day at my parent's house, and then Erika's family all came to our house on Saturday to celebrate. We had a great dinner and there were screaming kids running around all day. In another year or two when all the little ones are mobile and talking the holidays are going to get very interesting.

No time to get any pictures up because we're off to Hawai'i! Our flight leaves Tuesday morning and we're all definitely looking forward to some sand and sun, especially after the first snow fall in KC on Saturday.

I'll have a ton to share when we get back in a week I'm sure, and I'll try to sneak in a couple photos from Thanksgiving.

Halloween

Halloween was pretty uneventful. Parker dressed up as a Hershey Kiss and we took him by Grandma & Grandpa's house, and then over to Nikki & David's. Parker definitely enjoyed his first piece of candy, a big watermelon blow pop, but then he was passed out by the time we got to Nikki's so it was a short night for him.

Here's a short clip of him in his costume, and then tasting the sucker. There are some pictures added to the October 08 slide show at the top of the page.
