Hawaiian Honeymoon

I realized I never shared any photos from my recent honeymoon in Kauai and Oahu on here, so I thought I’d share some highlights.  I had a recipe in store for today, but ended up not being completely satisfied with it, so decided to scrap it for now.

Meanwhile, here are some memories from our trip. Enjoy and happy Friday! Oh, and our 1-year wedding anniversary is this Sunday, June 8th. Hard to believe a year has passed already!

Polihale Beach in Kauai. This beach is on the west side of the island, down a 5-mile bumpy, dirt road. It was super rough, but well worth it.

Polihale Stae Park in Kauai. This is a remote wild beach on the west side of the island. The trek to get there is down a 5-mile bumpy, dirt road. It was super rough, but well worth it.

Gearing for a 90-minute sunset catamaran ride, the last night of our honeymoon. Honolulu, Waikiki Beach.

Hanelai Bay

My tasty breakfast one morning at the Common Ground Cafe on the North Shore of Kauai.

Jesse climbing on the rocks at Ha'ena State Park. This was mere hours before he lost his wedding ring in the ocean at Tunnels Beach. Darn frog paws pulling it off.

Jesse in front of a dry cave. It was neat walking around inside. This was right across from Ha'ena State Park.

My lunch after zip-lining at the Common Ground Cafe. Grass-fed beef burger with bacon and raw cheddar (yes, I do okay sometimes with highly fermented cheeses), organic veggie salad and a legit homemade avocado dressing. This place had great food and super good quality too.

Poipu Beach at the South end of Kauai. We beached it this day with two friends who were also visiting the island. Afterward, we went for Mai Tai's. Great snorkeling here -- saw lots of cool fish!

I treated myself to this ring from the Hanelai Farmer's Market. The woman who made these used to live in Oregon and now resides in Kauai, making jewelry. She had such cool stuff!

Hot ride.

Hot ride. I couldn’t resist taking a picture. No, this was not the car we drove around in!

An epic sunset overlooking Hanelai Bay. We pulled over on the side of the road to snap a picture. The photo doesn't do it justice.

    Thanks for sharing! Looks like you had an incredible time, even if Jesse lost his ring 🙁 I love the one you got for yourself there! I would love to visit Hawaii one day, I was there years ago like 17 years ago now and hardly remember a thing!
