Our trip to Kauai was fantastic. For the most part the weather cooperated and I no matter how hard I tried I couldn't fully soak in the beauty of the garden isle. It was sooo green! I felt like I was living in Pandora for a week:) It was so nice just spending time with family for a week and getting to relax after a hectic month. The trip highlights included:
1. Meeting Pierce Brosnan at Hanalei Bay-my mom and him used to be neighbors :)
2. Hearing Wesley gush over catching the best wave of his surfing career, then being almost killed by a 10 wave set of double overheads, and getting to surf with extremely hot pro surfer girls Alana Blanchard and Bethany Hamilton (she's the girl with one arm)
3. EAAATING! Going off the "Hole in the wall" list from a lady at our condo we ate our hearts out. I will NEVER forget the pork tostada I had at "Verde". It was heaven.
4. Pool Poaching. Our family has got it down to a science. We poached the St. Regis in Princeville, the Marriott on the south shore, and the Hyatt in Poipu. They were all amazing pools. It's all about foraging for pool towels so you look like a guest, and ordering $10 lava flows at the bar so you don't feel too guilty for being there!
5. Taking a single wing air bus tour of the island with Wes. It was so cool seeing the island from the air!
Once we got back to California Wes and I were still rearing to go! The day after we got back we headed up to China Peak for round two. It was Gretchen, Coco, Scott, Wes and Scott's dad. We all had a great time and I got even better at carving. I'm kind of addicted to snowboarding now.
School starts on Tuesday :( I'm only taking two classes because I'm praying I can get a phlebotomy job. I just filled out an application to Central Coast Pathology so I pray I can snag something!
