Kauai, Hawaii

I woke up the next day to find fairy godmother had arrived in Newport Beach and after packing up all our stuff, we headed out to LAX for our airplane ride out to Kauai, Hawaii!

Can you tell how excited I am? I've been learning to smile on demand when my parents say "Cheese" and point a camera at me!

That's right, Superman is talking to you!

During our stay in Kauai, we rented a 2 bedroom condo. It was stocked with a kitchen and washer/dryer capabilities, which came in really handy. This is the view from my parent's room upstairs. Isn't it beautiful?

Uncle Dennis, Aunt Janet and Cousin Leah were already in Kauai and had overlapped 2 days with us. So, we decided to use our gear to go on a hiking trail. Turns out the hiking trail was only a lookout post. We ended up gearing up but only for a few minutes -- haha.

Here is cousin Leah enjoying the wind! And here are the Kwons! They are also expecting baby #2 on January 1!

Here is the Kimbo family and in the next picture, here we are with my Uncle Mike and Aunt Michelle.

After the lookout, we took a lunch break at a nearby park. In the park, there were a lot of roosters. I tried to catch them but they were too fast. Instead, I decided to snack while keeping the roosters in line. There were a whole bunch of beaches right outside our condo and I made good use of the condo's beach equipment -- shovels, pails, mats, balls, etc.
I wanted to explore the rocky areas but mommy had to help me out since there was algae on the rocks and it was slippery. Even mommy almost fell a couple of times. I loved swimming in the warm ocean. It was extra salty too so I floated without assistance!

I kept an eye out on the shore so that we didn't drift too far away. Here we are at another lookout at the Northern part of the island. Do you see the beautiful greenery and mountains. Kauai is known for its vegetation as it rains very often. We learned that quickly and were always armed with umbrellas for the frequent yet short sun showers.
We will be back Hawaii -- the land of rainbows!
Bye!
