Kauai, Hawaii

Here is post #3 of my loooonnnnggg update. Sorry for the million pictures, they are for my benefit.

Ahh, the first day. Imagine a long walk on the beach followed by hours spent floating in the ocean. Unfortunately, one must suffer the consequences of such a glorious day...

...that is, if one forgets to put on sunscreen. No, those are not my legs, they are Jeremy's and believe me it got a lot worse than this.

Clockwise: Na Pali coast hike, last day at the Marriott resort, day at the beach, the Na Pali coast.

Please don't laugh at my hat, it is a tradition for me to buy a new funny hat when I go on a vacation.

Boogie boarding was so fun. Jer and I felt like (I mean looked like) pros with our matching rash guards. Let's just say I'm a quick learner on how a beautiful sandy beach acts like sandpaper on bare skin.

Photo documentation of helicopter ride. Clockwise: In the van on the way to the helipad, beautiful view of the Na Pali coast, me and Mike chillin', our helicopter.

Way fun! Our pilot, Mike, was smokin'. Let's just say he taught me how to hang loose. My dad could use some lessons, as you will see in next photo collage.

Clockwise: Dad trying to hang loose (there is no better person to vacation with than my dad), sunset at Queen's Bath, ahhh how romantic, Jer snorkeling.

Sunset sail along the Na Pali coast with Captain Andy's.

We even got free T-shirts (way to go, dad!)

Rope swinging/cliff jumping at Kipu Falls. Clockwise: Jer and I on the short walk to the falls, Brittney going off the rope swing, a picture of the falls (Jer, Paul, and Brittney are somewhere in this picture, I am not), me on the rope swing. I was a study of grace, managing to land sideways both times and pull a calf muscle the second time.
