Photo Friday: Waimea Canyon Kauai

waimea-canyon-kauai

Worldwide we’re being bombarded with gloomy economic news and forecasts full of doom. I’ve been more than a little battered around by the effects of this over the past few months and so today, for Photo Friday, I’m posting a little pick-me-up for me – I hope you enjoy :)

This photo was taken at the rim of Waimea Canyon in Kauai. But not from the viewpoint on the road. Oh no, we hiked the Canyon Trail and then continued on UP to the lookout over the rim. It was about a 3 hour hike with some elevation gain. BigB, in the Baby Bjorn, was about 10 days old, I know we stopped for at least one diaper change and maybe even a quick nurse along the way! It was eight years ago (long before I was blogging about my travels with my children), so I’ll defer to the TravelingMamas for an excellent summary of trails in this park.

Mardi Gras

but I thought we were going to rio for mardi gras

When BigB was just a few weeks old, we took our first trip with two kids, to Kauai. With a mid-summer baby, we had thought that any travel would be out of the question that year. And then there he was, healthy, full term and sleeping like a baby. For two travel-junkie parents, to stay at home would have just been shameful.

This was a trip which stands out for great photos:

The caption for this photo in our family album is “When I wake up, I’m going to be so mad that we’re in Hawaii – I thought we were going to Rio for Mardi Gras”. That WanderDad, he’s so witty.
