Sunday morning we went to church and were fed spiritually by the talks and members. In R.S. the local sisters gave each of the visiting sisters a lei they had crocheted out of yarn. I thought that was such a nice heart felt gift. I'm sure they have tons of visitors. I think there were 10 or 12 visitors just the day we were there.
Yesterday was cloudy, but warm and we spent most of the day driving along the coast and visiting points of interest. We were rewarded with beautiful views and vistas!
This morning I woke up to the roar of the ocean waves and a beautiful sunrise! Life is good!!

I loved the stained glass windows.
We stopped here at Salt Pond State Park and had a picnic.
These parrots were just sitting in the trees inside the Hyatt. All the kids around loved them.

Your pictures are killing me! It looks so gorgeous there! I can't wait to visit there one day! Glad you guys are having so much fun and that you got some really nice weather despite what the forecast was telling you.
ReplyDeleteMatsen just looked at all of the pictures with me and I wish you could have heard him "Look at that beautiful tree!!" "That place looks so beautiful!!" It was really cute. I'm glad you guys are having a fabulous time. Matsen couldn't recognize you and Dad on the beach with your hats and shades on. He said, "Those people look super familiar."
ReplyDeleteThese are just fabulous scenes. Kauai was one of the nicest vacations we've ever experienced too. Rains more there than anyplace on earth and is so green. We took a helicopter ride over the Pauli Coast and the cliffs were covered with mist. I still remember thinking this must be what heaven is like. Enjoy your week. You guys sure do exotic and fun stuff all the time.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful! Especially after the dreary winter we are just finishing. I'm so happy that you got to go. Thanks for sharing a bright spot with us!
ReplyDeleteCan I go next time? :)
ReplyDeleteWe went to Kauai on our honeymoon. These pictures brought back some great memories. Paradise on earth.
