I'm not sure how many people are actually following our many blogs, but I have to admit the morning ritual of coffee and blogging is growing on me... Its so much more fun when you are sitting out on your deck with a view of the beach in 80 degree weather! :)
Yesterday was a very relaxing day... which was what we needed after that crazy hike. We spent most of the late morning/early afternoon at Poipu Beach in the beautiful sunshine. We snorkeled for over an hour (Rocco had to basically pull me out of the water) and then spent the rest of the time basking in the sun. Rocco is of course on his 3rd book so he was reading away (nerd alert!) :) while I listened to music on my iphone and people watched. I always bring a book with me but I am somehow so much more entertained by all of the interesting people on the beach. I now understand what people mean by the island being visited by either "Newlyweds" or "Nearly Deads."
The snorkeling was fantastic in Poipu. We were under the impression that it wouldn't be that great but we ended up seeing lots of cool fish! I would love to share pictures of what we saw but that would mean I wouldn't have forgotten the memory card for our camera in the laptop at home. Ooops! We saw eels, clown fish, angel fish, parrot fish, and even an octopus! Those are the only names I can come up with... to sum it up, it was basically all the fish from the movie Finding Nemo.
After the beach we headed home briefly to shower and grab a snack and then we headed to the west side of the island to explore some new territory. We stopped at the Hanapepe Swinging Bridge, the Russian Fort Elisabeth- state historical park, and even went 4X4-ing at Polihale State Park. We caught some amazing views along the way of a beautiful rainbow, unique churches, and local surfers.
On the way back we stopped at Tom Kats for some greasy burgers! Yummmm!
Here are some pictures from our trip to the west side.
Me ke aloha,
Sarah & Rocco

I must admit, I am one of your devoted blog followers! You start your day with coffee and blog writing and I start my day checking out all my bookmarked blogs for updates - I am such a 21st century geek, but I really do love them!
I would write on mine more, but I think people would get tired of reading "Maddox got us up today at 7:00 demanding breakfast. We ate, got ready and went to work. Then we came home and spent the evening telling Maddox to stop bossing us around!"
At any rate, keep up the blogging...and know that there is at least one person reading.
Good stuff Sarah!

Beautiful photos, Sarah! What kind of camera are you using?
