HAWAII part 1

       I'm back in Kauai, HI for my third trip.  I've been with Tegan on our honeymoon, with Tegan and Isla when she was a year old, and now with Miles too.  I f***ing love this place.  Since Tegan and I are big ballers now, we rented a place right on the water.  Literally.  I can open my doors and look right out into the water. 


Our flight was pretty uneventful, with only minor tragedies, like forgetting that the DVD player brought to entertain the kids has no battery capabilities, and I slept possibly one hour the night before, but nothing a seasoned stay at home dad like myself can't handle.  So, we arrived in Kapa'a around 4, got to the house - and I went out to Safeway to get stuff for dinner and the rest of the week. 

Groceries in Hawaii are ridiculous.  I got some milk, coffee, eggs, cereal, peanutbutter, bread, snacks, a six pack of beer, and some chicken along with a couple other things and spent 160.00 - Daaaaaaaaang.  It might be cheaper to eat out.    Oh well.  After dinner we pretty much all passed out from jet lag. 

The next day we woke up at 5, watched the sun rise from our amazing porch with coffee, and relaaaaaaxed.   In the morning, we went for a walk and found a Tahitian Dance festival going on, so posted up there until the afternoon. Then it was time for a jaunt to the venerable and historic institution of Wal-Mart for a stroller to push Milesy around in.  Pizza for dinner, some shave ice and back to the house.
