Dallas woke up early to go golfing with his dad. He wore his new Kamehameha Schools golf polo that I got in the silent auction at the luau!
Liz, Caroline and I planned to take the kids on the Kilohana Plantation Train Tour, which Makai has been on twice [2014 and 2016], but doesn’t remember. The entire family ended up joining us, which was really fun. I think they liked it!
I wanted to go shopping in Hanapepe afterwards. Instead of dragging Makai along, Jose offered to take him to Salt Pond with Grace, so I took him up on his offer! I shopped around a little bit at Koloa Rum. When I got to Hanapepe it was lunch time, so I ate at my favorite little cafe there, Little Fish.
After lunch I visited a store next door called L?.L?. I got a pair of earrings made from shell or coral? Not sure. I really liked another pair made of red coral, but I did not buy them. The reason I wanted to visit Hanapepe was to look at artwork for our house! I wandered over to Angela Heardley Fine Art. I really liked her work, but the originals were very expensive. I got excited when I saw the high-quality glicee prints on canvas. These prints sometimes run really high too, but she was selling them for $95. I loved a banana leaf print that was tropical, but not like IN YOUR FACE. I also liked a ginger, print but I wasn’t sure on it. In the end, I got it! I also got a bowl made from a coconut. I went to Banana Patch Studios and didn’t get anything. Then to Aloha Spice, where I got just a couple small things. AND THEN I went back to the first store and got the red coral earrings!
George and Kathy and the Korean relatives went to Kilohana for a Luau. The rest of us planned to go out for dinner that night, although Liz and Mahea ended up staying home. Liz is pregnant!! And I’m sure tired and besides that Mahea was on a power nap .. or maybe crash.. from travel and the time change! Caroline, Jose, Grace, Jordan, Dallas, Makai and I went to Keoki’s Paradise for dinner. Keoki’s has been around as long as I’ve been visiting Kauai, for 15 years. Love it. Always a solid bet!
After dinner, Liz and Mahea met us at Kukui’ula for ice cream at Lappert’s !! The line was SOOO LONG. As long as any of us had ever seen it! But that did not stop us from our mission!
Back at home, Makai and I went outside to look at the stars. Since the house is on a dark cliff, there were so many stars to look at. When we went outside we encountered this HUGE TOAD.
