Kauai

Well I am officially back from our family vacation. It is the last vacation we will have with our whole family before our wonderful kids are off to college. We will loose our first one at the end of this year. That being said, we decided to just go for it and have a blow out! So off we went to the island of Kauai. This was to be a family fun trip, but turned into something much much more for me and for my husband. As soon as we landed I felt as if I had come home. Comfortable and content is how our days were spent. We got to spend some absolutely GREAT quality time with our children. And we also got to live a life of complete relaxation for 1 whole week! THIS was a real big deal to us!!! Between the swimming with the giant sea turtles and riding a grungy atv through the forest/jungles....I found a spot in my soul that must have needed to be filled by this island...and this island alone. One day , and I do mean this, when the children are done with high school....we will live there, my husband and I. We will paint and create and live this life of ease. We will spend a huge part of our existence just breathing in the air of this beautiful island. It will forever be my home.

Now, I know this all sound corny....but like I have said many times before...this life need more corn! And Greg and I neeeeeed more of our Kauai. So will will begin saving now for our next visit in the fall.

Here are a few pictures from our travels. I hope you find them as inspiring as I did....

Enjoy!
