Paradise Trip

The human pack took a short trip to Hawaii's island of Kaua'i in January to enjoy some sunshine and relax.  Kaua'i is so pretty and lush!  You can see from the pictures below how green it is.  We enjoyed hiking, golf, the beach, and some good food.  Pack member Jordi stayed behind and enjoyed play dates and evening strolls every day at the dog hotel.

{Shopping for local fruit at the Famers' Market in Lihue}

{The fruit is so fresh and tasty!}

{Pack member Andrew's favorite fruit: the egg fruit, which has the consistency of an egg yolk combined with an avocado;  pack member Natalia's favorite: the apple banana}


{View of the ocean from our running trail}

{It rains a bit in Kauai, which means beautiful rainbows}

{Hanalei Day Beach}


{Delicious traditional homemade saimin aka noodle soup from Hamara Saimin}

{Coconut, macademia nuts & banana pancakes with coconut syrup from Ono Family Restaurant}

{We watched the sunrise from our patio every morning}

{Wild chickens and roosters are everywhere in Kaua'i.  The roosters love to wake everyone up starting 5am every morning}

{We golfed quite a bit}

{Pack member Jordi was super excited to return home, and sleep in his own bed, cuddling with his blanky and his toys}

Thanks for visiting!
