On Friday, we were greeted with rain. Still, we bravely headed out to find a North Shore beach. Gary, Donna and Blake did their own thing so it was just Grant, Geoff, Kate, and I. On the way, we stopped at subway to get some lunch.
We went, first, to Wailua Falls. It was gorgeous. Geoffrey really got a kick out of seeing it. There was a local there making things out of weaving fronds - hats and baskets and such. He had these cute fish hanging off of a fishing pole reed - and we decided to get one for Geoffrey - and the man gave us one for free! So awesome! Aloha!
We headed to Moloa'a Beach - which was on the north/east end of Kauaii. The beach access was far away from the good part of the beach, but we found another awesome entrance - unfortunately it was through someone's property. Their gate was opened so we went ahead and did it anyway. The beach was awesome - the sand was not too wide, and the edge was covered in trees, so there was plenty of shade (although it was overcast most of the day...) The water was fairly calm and Geoff and Kate both loved being in the water. While we were swimming, a seal probably a monk seal, swam really close to us - maybe 15 feet away! Awesome!!! There were only like two other families on the beach so it was very private! Geoff also loved all the coconuts on the beach. When we left, that gate was closed, but we found another gate that was unlocked. Thank goodness!
On the way home, we researched boat tours of the NaPali coast that allowed infants. We found a tour that sounded great - left from the south at 8:15, accepted infants, didnt charge for kids under 4... but we were required to provide our own infant life vest. Um, yikes... we called 3 snorkel places and one rented them. We called K-mart and walmart but neither had them... so we put that on hold for now...
The kids slept all the way home and Geoffrey miraculously woke up in a great mood. We had dinner back at the Marriott, we had a prime rib and crab legs buffet... so delicious!!!
We stopped by walmart on the way home and they did have an infant life vest (glad we didnt rely on the phone call) so we're good to go!
