Wailua, Hanalei, and Queens Bath

Saturday we did a little shopping on the East shore of the island. On our way back we stopped and had lunch in Wailua on the beach. It was finally a sunny day and was not raining. We made the most of it, not knowing what the weather would be on Sunday.

The water was muddy here, but still makes for a beautiful postcard image.

Daddy trying to crack open a coconut we found on the beach. No luck.

We then drove to the North shore to Hanalei, did more shopping and had a sweet treat.

More birds and flowers.

Ching Young Shopping Center in Hanalei. I think this is my favorite little town on the island.
The scene was much different on Friday. No sun....pouring rain. What a difference a day makes.

Enjoying their shave ice. YUM

The river that irrigates the taro fields in Hanalei.

Hanalei Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

Our love of adventure and hiking brought us to Queens Bath in Princeville. The hike was challenging due to the mud (very slippery), but well worth the trip. We even saw about five sea turtles and a few crabs. This made the entire trip. Watching the sea turtles was such a treat!

Our little billy goats just hopped around the volcanic rock.

I put the images in a collage....too many to choose just a few.
