Kaaawa to Laie - by Kayak!!!

That's right! On Saturday morning we set out to paddle our way through the eight miles of incredibly beautiful Windward coastline that span these two cities. It was incredible!

Smelling strongly of the distinctive coconut oil sported by the Coppertone kid, we set off on our adventure. We stoped at this incredible stretch of beach and resolved to build our dream house on the very spot.

Later we encountered several sea turtles - including this friendly fellow who swam right up and underneath our kayak.
We ate a picnic lunch on Hauula beach munching on carrot sticks, oranges, a very squished pear, cookies, and a fresh garden salad - enjoying V8 and aloha juices.

We finished our trek by paddling AROUND Laie point through solid overhead breakers - and were capsized only thrice! Then we pulled right up onto Temple beach, and sprawled out on the sand.

That evening we decided to head out to Kaena point for a beach bonfire with Brad, Kerri, baby Kaci, as well as Nate, Kim, and their kids Lili and Nate.


That made for some good times and good eats with the classic biscut wrapped hot dogs and grasshopper smores!

And then we slept - 'cause we were kinda tired.
