Another Day in Paradise, Kauai Style

Yes, we took another trip to Hawaii. This time we decided to go to an island we had never visited before -- Kauai. Here are some of the highlights!

Talk Story Bookstore - The Western-most Independent Bookstore in the United States! It was our first stop on the island and yes, we bought books even though we had brought plenty with us.

If you have never had shave ice with ice cream in the bottom, find some. Even better if it is macadamia nut ice cream under guava and passion-orange shave ice (with a condensed milk "cream topping"!). Mmm.

Z was totally relaxed.

I practiced my palm tree photography.

I read some fantastic books.

We saw places that were definitely our idea of paradise, like Hanalei Bay. We even checked the price on the property for sale across the street!

We climbed on lava rocks and explored little tide pools filled with fish.

I grabbed a few photos of one of my favorite flowers.

Hibiscus are possibly the most photogenic flower.

And we spent some time just appreciating the gorgeous landscaping at the Grand Hyatt.

Kauai is an amazing island.

Because, in Hawaii, after every storm ...

... there's always a rainbow.

Dreaming of an island life,
