Arriving in Paradise

Our day was long, but it was all worth it once we arrived in Kaua'i.

We woke up at 5am (at a hotel near the airport). The girls were great on the plane. Every 10 minutes O wanted to look out the window. She took a nice nap on the plane. Hawaiian Airlines is fantastic. We received three drinks, a snack and a meal (all included!).

Our condo is beautiful. 1800 square feet (larger than our house).

Daddy making dinner on our first night.

Great Room - living room, dinning room, kitchen

There is a den and bathroom behind kitchen

Kitchen and Dinning Room

This is a view from the front door. Go up to the Great Room and down to the bedrooms, laundry and garage

from front door going down to bedrooms. There is a desk here in this space with the phone and Internet hook up.

Our bedroom with bathroom

The girls room. They also have their own bathroom, which they love. O still comes to wake me up at 2am when she goes pee! She said she didn't' want me to worry where she was if I came to check on them. So sweet, but I'm ASLEEP AT 2AM!

The girls decorating the condo for Easter. Thank you Aunt C! The first thing the girls did when we got to the condo was make these foam Easter eggs. Now we are ready.

Sunset from our balcony (off the Great Room) on our first night.

The beautiful view from our condo balcony!

A few flowers growing near the condo.

Not a great shot, but this little guy comes to visit every day. He is just beautiful. He usually arrives on the balcony when I DON'T have my camera. I'm hoping to get a better shot before the end of our trip. We'll see how I do.

The other thing I promise to get pictures of are chickens and roosters. Yes, chickens and roosters. They are all over the island. It's the funniest thing.

We are having a great time. As I post this we have done family portraits on the beach and a Lu'au. I'll be posting Lu'au pictures later today (it's about 8:40am our time right now).

It has been about 74˚ and raining most of the time since we arrived. O keeps asking me where the sun is. It comes out here and there. Yesterday as we were out exploring it just started pouring!

Well, better get ready for our day. Check in again. I'm hoping to be able to sit and add another post tonight.
