Hawaii Day 7 {Aloha Kauai}

Luckily the day we were flying home was another full day in Kauai. Our plane didn't leave until 10:30 pm so we made the best of the time we had left. All of us met for breakfast at the quaint cafe in another town. They had excellent breakfast and coffee! After breakfast Toby, the kids and I drove up the to the north coast to see the sites. I had been wanting to do that the entire time we were there so there's no better time than the last day! It was a beautiful drive and we stopped several times to watch the waves. The waves that were HUGE. The entire time we where in Hawaii Hurricane Guillermo was heading straight for us. Eventually it weakened into a tropical storm and then veered away from us. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to experience a hurricane. I know, I'm weird. I wasn't too disappointed though because we were able to enjoy the outside without the rain that the storm would have brought us. The storm did bring us crazy surf. The waves were huge and beautiful. I could have spent all day watching them. The riptides were so bad that they had to close part of the beach close to our condo.

Breakfast. Have I mentioned I love eating outside? There is something so relaxing about it. I could eat outside every meal. 

On our drive up the coast we stopped to see this lighthouse. It isn't in use anymore but it was neat to see. 

The views from the lighthouse were awesome

These trees were everywhere. I don't remember their name but I loved them!

This is the tree tunnel. It was close to Poi-p and we drove through it a couple of times during our stay. 

 When we got back from our drive we let the kids swim in the pool one last time. Toby swam, I watched :). Then we ate lunch, got ice cream and went to watch the waves one last time.

Not sure what this was all about. Love this kid!

Good by Hawaii

 We left our condo around 6 pm and headed to the airport. We took the red eye to LA and got there about 5 am. I think most of us were able to get a little sleep on the flights back.
