The Downsides to Kauai 2009
Two trips to the doctors office for croup and ear infections.
Plenty of blood, raspberries and tears from constant falling and tripping.
Two 18 month old toddlers running opposite directions in the airport, at the beach and everywhere else.
Waking up at 2:30am Hawaii time, only for a few days!


The Upsides to Kauai 2009
The beach.
The weather.
The North Shore of Kauai.
Being all together as a family for a whole week!
Plenty of chickens and roosters to chase (DoDos according to the kids).
Loves donuts for everyone but me!
Pineapple and a lot of fruit.
Macadamia nuts.
A Marvelous Gluten Free Bakery with the best muffins and cookies I have had since being diagnosed with Celiac Sprue.
The kids did awesome on both flights, despite delays and being sick.


Overall the trip was really fun and really hard, not a real vacation but a real family trip. The kids loved being there and so did we, it is my favorite place to go! But I do have to say that our next trip just might be without the kids!
