Lance and I had the woderful experience of visiting the beautiful island of Kauai, HI for a week long vacation! Thanks to Lance's parents, we got to stay in this awesome two bedroom two bathroom condo with them! Everything is so beautiful there. I guess that's why the call it the 'Garden Island' from beautiful movie famous waterfalls (like Fantasy Island and Jurassic Park) to tons of hiking trails, breathtaking views, and gorgeous beaches! Here are a few pics from our getaway to a little place (and it is little, the island is only 35 miles across) we like to call Paradise!!!

It was so nice to get a way for a week with no baby!!!

The view from our balcony

This is the river we had to cross on our Kayak trip. Usually the river is knee deep or so, unlike when we crossed it....it was chest deep with a really strong current!!!

We found lots of these little lizards

Kayaking is not always as easy as it looks

After we Kayaked to a certain point, got out, crossed the river, then hiked a mile or so, this is what we found! A gorgeous,probably at least a 150 foot, waterfall that we swam under! (just like in the movies!)

This is the little village that we walked through after our kayaking trip

We went to this Coconut Festival where they had fired dancers, singers, a guy husked a coconut, and then climbed this coconut tree! (bare hands and feet!)

For Lance,hawaiian shaved ice was a must!

In front of our resort

The waves were pretty big that day!

Inside one of the many arces/caves carved out by lava!

When you walked out our front door this is the view we had!

Lance, Kay, and I going ziplining!

So much fun!

At our new favorite resturant The Eastside! If you ever go to Kauai, you have to eat there, the food was amazing!!!

This place was pretty cool, it's called Glass beach. It looks like sand, or little shiny pebbles, but don't be fooled. This beach was made almost entirely of glass! The ocean has turned this dump sight where people would throw out glass, broken bottles, even car parts, and turned it into this beautiful glittery beach!

Yes, that's me out there about to jump off this cliff (see video)

Getting ready to go off the rope swing (see video!)
