Thank you to all of you chimed in and offered words of encouragement on my post about quitting soda! Truly, it means a lot to know I have people behind me! Today is DAY 3 and going great! I have had no thoughts at all of caving. I think obviously the public post helps a… Continue reading Thanks and quitting soda update + my replacement plans
Eek, this is a hard post for me to write. Buckle up, it's a looong one. I have a big confession. I have a very bad habit that I have never really delved into on this blog but am going to today! I've maybe hinted at it here and there, and people with an observant… Continue reading BIG CONFESSION time + a life-altering mid-year goal
Today is Charlie's 1st birthday!!! Poor guy... for his birthday he got... neutered. 😆 Another cone shot from yesterday morning He's doing really well though! To be honest it doesn't seem like he even notices that he had surgery. He was real loppy and out of it that first night (anesthesia...) and was a little… Continue reading Happy birthday Char Char!
Hello! Finally back in "present voice" here! Yay! It feels like AGES ago since I've written a real time post. It's hard to believe, but we've been home from Hawaii for almost 2 weeks already. Plus a 2 week trip... means it's just about a full month since we left for vacation! Mind.blown. So, what… Continue reading Some real time updates!
Saturday, June 15- Sunday, June 16 (*until we meet again) Saturday was our last last day, though for all practical purposes I considered Friday our last real day. However! Our flight was not until 7:30 p.m. Saturday evening, so technically we still had a big chunk of the day to enjoy. The evening/ overnight flight… Continue reading Days 16-17: A Hui Hou* Hawaii! Final adventures + home.
And just like that, two weeks after the whole whirlwind of Asher's Thursday night graduation and then boarding a plane Friday morning, here we were, somehow waking up to our last full day in Kauai! Hard to believe. Two weeks generally feels like my sweet spot for travel. By Friday, I didn't feel like I… Continue reading Day 15: Last full day- soaking it all up
Thursday, June 13 These last two days, Thursday and Friday, were designed to be pretty go-with-the-flow. Main objective: explore + enjoy. One thing on my personal "wants" list was to walk to that pretty 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay for coffee/ tea at that pretty coffee shop one morning. I enjoy walking at home in the… Continue reading Day 14: awesome day! Morning walk, Hideaway Beach, mini-golf, Tunnels, pizza + sunset views
Wednesday, June 12 Wednesday was the first morning we woke up to overcast skies! Looking out, it was crazy how we couldn't even see the mountains - which normally were clear as day. Oh, well. It was still warm and pleasant outside. Also, if it had to be cloudy on one of our excursion days,… Continue reading Day 13: Mountain tubing, Makauwahi cave, Wailua Falls, Lava Lava Beach Club
Tuesday, June 11 Since we had a long, full day Monday, and more plans in the south of Kauai on Wednesday, the plan for Tuesday was to just basically do whatever we wanted (on the north shore near the condo). No plans, just a wing-it day. We took a slow morning (the usual- coffee, tea,… Continue reading Day 12: Relax day/ Queen’s Bath/ pretend luxury…
Monday, June 10 Monday was our first “excursion day” on Kauai! We were staying on the north shore, but had booked a private plane tour out of Lihue and also wanted to take advantage of being more on the south shore to also visit Waimea Canyon. Here, for a little reference, here’s a map: Airport… Continue reading Day 11: Airplane tour + Waimea Canyon (aka “The one where someone throws up” 😆)
GRATEFUL KAE
