The family and I took the Smith Family Fern Grotto tour on the Wailua River. After a nice 15 minute boat ride we arrived at the docks to the Fern Grotto. The pathway to grotto was lined with beautiful Hawaiian plants . The short hike was easily my favorite part of the whole tour.

The first beach that we came across was Mahaulepu Beach. It sits at the end of the Mahaulepu Heritage Trail in Poipu, Kauai. The beach was pretty empty as we rode across the beach on our CJM Stables, guided horse ride.

My first sunset while on vacation in Kauai, Hawai'i. We were on a mission to find Aria, my daughter, apair of slippers(Flip Flops). Surprisingly , finding a kids size 12 sandal is a lot harder than you think it would be in Hawai'i.
Couldn't decide between the cropped version of this shot or the non cropped version. Which one do you prefer?
