north shore, kauai

But first, a picture taken on the cliffs at Shipwreck Beach on the south shore. It really is a blessing that Emma loves to be in the Ergo.

The second half of our trip was spent just north of Hanalei on Kauai. It is incredible here. I think we could have spent the entire time here. The house we stayed at had 3 bedrooms so Emma got her own room and we all slept better. It probably helped that there was no construction noise and no car noise to wake her up. We were right on a river that flowed between us and the ocean. Absolutely beautiful. We snorkeled, hiked the Na Pali coast (without Emma and my mom this time), took a Zodiac boat ride along the Na Pali coast (again, without Emma and my mom), and relaxed. Jens and my dad also got to enjoy a beautiful kayak trip on the Hanalei River. You never know how good you had it until you leave!

Unfortunately at the house there were no bathtubs, only really cool walk in showers with no doors! Emma got to enjoy a couple of showers with Grandma, but Grandma eventually resorted to the kitchen sink. Emma loved being able to fill up tuperware and then drink from it.

Hanging out on the beach at Hanalei Bay waiting for the sunset.

I LOVE the sunset pic of you two. Definitely one for a frame on the wall. Or at least a scrapbook.
