From Queen’s Bath, Jess, Ted, Richard, Amanda, and Stephanie went to Kilauea Lighthouse to watch the sunset. Paul Baker, Kate, Tien, Shannan and I decided to check out the Hanalei Valley Lookout….

…. and then, more importantly, stop for Lappert’s ice cream. As if there would be any doubt about it, I got the Kauai Pie, my favorite ice cream ever! It’s Kona coffee ice cream swirled wtih chocolate fudge, coconut flakes, macadamia nuts and vanilla cake crunch. Someday I will try another flavor, but not this day! This was my only Lappert’s on the whole trip!

On the first day of the trip some friends made a Costco run and we had them pick of several bottles of white wine and several of red. We were buying the wine for our wedding and needed to know which to buy cases of. During the week we had wine tastings and chose a white wine, but somehow we never tasted or picked a red wine.

Well, Jen didn’t go ziplining and just hung out by the Ho’Onani pool all day, so I assigned her the task of tasting the reds and picking one! Tough day for her! So, Jen texted me her choices and on the way home from the North Shore we met up with Dallas, Matt and Ross at Costco in Lihue where we bought a case and a half of our chosen white wine (Menage a Trois California White) and our red (Mirassou Pinot Noir). Yes, everyone had a menage a trois at the wedding!

On our drive we stopped at the Hanalei Valley Lookout, which overlooks the Hanalei National Wildlife Refuge. The majority of all of Hawaii’s taro is grown here.

On Tuesday, Dallas was golfing with his uncle. Kristin, who is unable to do much of any physical activity because of her back, ran some errands and chilled around the pool. Rob, Sarah, Cousin and I decided to drive up the east side of Kaua’i to the North Shore. On the way up we stopped at the Kilauea Lighthouse in Kilauea and Queen’s Bath near Princeville. In the Ching Young Village in Hanalei we had lunch at Polynesian Cafe and did some shopping. We then continued on to Maniniholo Dry Cave near Ha’ena Beach before coming to the end of the road near Ke’e Beach. After we went as far as we could go by road we hiked out two more miles up the Na Pali coast on the Kalalau Trail.
