After a quick layover in Honolulu we arrived to our home-away-from home, the garden isle of Kauai. Ken’s aunt and uncle live on the island so over the years we’ve begun to think of it as our own. We pulled into the driveway and were welcomed by hand-painted signs and balloons.
What we didn’t expect was the surprise waiting at the front door: my mom, stepdad and our family friends the Showens! They made a surprise appearance to welcome us home (and of course they’re also enjoying a tropical vacation). We were elated to see our family! We spent the last week in typical island fashion: lounging beach/poolside, drinking cocktails on the lanai, and plotting every possible scenario to extend our stay. Special thanks to Margie and Myron for sharing their amazing guesthouse with us!
