\"Risi,<\/a>I love vacationing to the West, because it is so pleasant and easy to get up early!\u00a0 Risi and Josh (who were sharing a suite with us, though we had separate rooms), were up at some ridiculous hour of the morning because Tolton was not going to stay in bed any longer, so they were out walking the beach before the sun was up.\u00a0 By 6am, however, I was awake and dressed and ready to officially start my vacation!\u00a0 I walked down to Kalapaki beach with Risi and met up with Josh and Tolton, who just couldn\u2019t get enough of the water.\u00a0 We just hung out on the beach and watched the cutest little boy ever being thoroughly delighted by the waves crashing on top of him.\u00a0 Whitney wandered down to join us, as did Mom, Dad, and eventually Jim.\u00a0 We decided to head to Poipu beach for our first excursion, so in just over an hour\u00a0 my excited, swim-suited, not-yet-burned family members were gathered at the Mariott Fish Pond.\u00a0 We stayed long enough to watch the goldfish and koi being fed, then headed out to the beach.<\/p>\n

\"Spouting<\/a>We stopped to see the \u201cSpouting Horn,\u201d which was very cool, and the girls browsed the shops nearby.\u00a0\u00a0 Back on the road, Jim and Josh stopped our caravan to buy some garlic shrimp from a guy selling the stuff freshly cooked in the back of his truck.\u00a0 Then, on to Poipu, where we played in the sand and the water and just had a lovely, relaxed morning.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I had borrowed some spray-on sunscreen, and \u2013 apparently \u2013 hadn\u2019t quite sprayed enough, because after just a couple of hours, my back was nice and red with little un-burned splotches all over it.\u00a0 That evening, we took a family outing to the grocery store (to plan our microwaved feast for Sunday dinner and to celebrate Mom’s and Kim’s birthday) and K-Mart (for presents for said birthdays, among other things).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
