Hawaii Day Seven: Aloha Hawaii

Our last day in Hawaii (also last Hawaii post!)! We got up and headed to Queen's Bath- another bigger lava pool. We passed this beautiful little waterfall on our hike there.

Queen's Bath may have been my favorite place. It was so clear and full of life. I just loved sitting on the edge watching the fish in the bath and the sea turtles in the ocean.

On the hike back

Old Hanalei Bridge- can't handle heavy machinery so it naturally limits development in Hanalei

Wai'oli Hui'ia Church in Hanalei

We had time for massages on the beach before catching a plane and flying back to our sweet, sweet girls.

We stayed at the Jungle Hideaway which was a guest house about 10 minutes past Hanalei. It was wonderful and we highly recommend it for anyone heading to Kauai. The owners were wonderful- taking care of all our needs and making our trip very special. Plus it had an outside shower which might have been my favorite part of Hawaii.

And that is the end of Hawaii '09. I have no idea what I'll blog about now.

That little church is so pretty and unique. I've highly enjoyed the Hawaii posts, but I'm sure your girls will give you plenty of fodder for future blogs.

1.) I LOVE outdoor showers. Is it wrong to say that I might have loved my outdoor shower more than the zebras when we were on safari?

2.) that queen's bath looks AMAZING. I want to be swimming in it right now. the water's not hot, though, right? That would only be refreshing in winter. And it's not winter.

Is it weird that safaris just jumped up on my list of places to travel now that I know there are outside showers there?

The water isn't hot or cold. Just right.

it's weird that safaris weren't already towards the top of your list, yes.
