Kelowna and Toronto!

So it's definitely been a bit quiet on the blog front lately. We did take a couple of small trips to the island and to Whistler, but mostly, we have been lying low. We just went up to Kelowna for a week and then off to Toronto for Sean's wedding (sans Vanessa) so here's my post!

All right, I'd better learn how to drive this space car. 


Selfie! 
Stayed at an airbnb for a couple of nights to give Nanny a break. :)  

Morning coffee anyone? 
Someone really enjoys unpacking her suitcase!

Is Nana G really going for a buggy ride? 




Someone must have told me a joke!


So good to see the Winkls!  

And then off we went to Toronto. Kid, what kid? Jk, I miss her a lot! 
Got some snuggles with baby Amy! 

There's the handsome groom and beautiful bride!
On the streets of Toronto
 








Thought we'd check out the Toronto islands but this line up deterred us. 

Reunited! :)

Aloha cont'd...

Now that we've got the south covered, let's head north and check it out! Note: Driving with an 8 month old is not the same as a 2 month old...trips in the car should be limited to short distances. Luckily, nothing is too far away on this island!

Checking out Ke'e beach at the end of the road. 
Little wind in the hair never hurt anyone! 


The next day, we drove back and did the first 0.5 mile of the famous Kalalau trail (11 miles one way but not really suitable for baby past the beginning part). 

We discovered that V loves hiking (but car rides, not so much). 

Relaxin' on the beach is a thing of the past...this moment lasted for like 30 seconds, haha.

Time to learn how to walk! 
Another beautiful beach...Secret beach...which we enjoyed until...

We almost got washed away! Tide came in so quickly that all of our stuff got drenched. Good thing I was holding V at the time.
Mike went exploring while we napped.

We were dreading the last day a bit since we had to check out at 10am and our flight wasn't until 10:30pm...what to do with a baby all day who needs her naps...until we discovered this nanny service in the St. Regis hotel. Score! Dropped her off and Mike and I went down to the beach on our own. Amazing!!!!  
We might have even popped into the spa...hehehehe.

Picked her up and stopped by one last waterfall on our way to the airport. Kauai, we're coming back!!!
