What better way to start off winter break than with a trip to Hawaii!! Thanks to Pampa and Grandma, the entire Kozuki family took a vacation in Kauai. We enjoyed perfect weather, which meant there was plenty of beach time for our little ones. Kara enjoyed snorkeling for the first time, while Ben loved boogie boarding and Jason just liked being in the water.
Of course there was lots of food to enjoy... trying the different shave ice places, comparing poke from all the local fish markets and grocery stores, searching on Yelp for the hole in the wall winners. We definitely ate well.
On our last two trips to Kauai, we stayed at a house in Poipu, which happened to be booked already... so we stayed in a new house right near Baby Beach and one of the big pluses was the outdoor heated shower!
We had a wonderful trip and there is so much to be grateful for... watching the kids have so much fun with their auntie and uncles, not having to take my walking boot to Hawaii, Sho and John's love for 80s music, mini iPads to make the time on the plane bearable, our first giant-turtle-on-the-beach sighting, that Jason loves being with BF (a.k.a. Grandma, Jason's Best Friend) and is happy to be without us for a period of time, and mostly, the luxury of time together.
On the drive home, as we were approaching our exit back in Kingsburg, I asked the kids what their favorite part of the trip was... Kara loved snorkeling, Ben liked boogie boarding and having family fun and Jason replied "I dunno." But when I told Jason that we were almost home, he replied, "No, Hawaii house." Smart cookie.
