Cameron and I headed to Kauai recently for a much needed vacation. What a beautiful place! We had the best time relaxing, hiking, kayacking, rafting, and snorkeling. The first minor bummer was that it rained A LOT. I had always heard Kauai was rainy, and it certainly lived up to its reputation. This didn't stop us from having fun though, and somehow for the most part we seemed to avoid the rain. The bigger bummer was the camera... or lack of. As luck would have it, our camera (which maybe was 6 months old) broke on our second day of the trip. Always the positive guy, Cameron said not to worry, he would take pictures with his cell phone (since it actually takes pretty good pictures). That was working just fine... until Cameron went snorkeling with his cell phone in his pocket. Doh! Needless to say, the pictures you see below don't do justice to how pretty Kauai is or how much fun we had.


Here we are at Shipwreck Beach where we saw the best sunsets.

Waimea Canyon, which looks like a smaller Grand Canyon.

Hiking in the North Shore on this really cool trail with stunning views down along the Napali Coast.

Snorkeling

This was one of my favorite activities we did- rafting along the Napali Coast. Here we are on a beach we stopped at for a bit on the way back. We had the whole beach to ourselves (except for the sea turtles and monk seal which you can see if you look closely).

I love vacation! Cam, where are we going next?!
