We spent the entire morning and afternoon resting and relaxing up until about 5:00. It was then time to go out to the luau. After some relaxing time outside with some Hawaiian music we came in to start our meal. It was actually pretty good, with our favorite dish probably being the pork that was cooked underground for 5-6 hours. We found out that there was a wedding that day and the couple with their friends and family were there at the luau celebrating some sort of reception. During the rest of the evening there was traditional Hawaiian dancing with different people getting pulled up to join them. The last portion was held outside with a fire dance which I thought was really fun, even though I would never dare try to do something like that. Thus ends a night full of food and fun.

P.S. What photos came out alright we are sticking in the photo gallery.

After packing for the day we headed out to the southern part of Kauai. On the way we stopped off at a waterfall and took some more pictures. When we finished that we headed back toward the south. We were going to the Allerton Gardens to visit the site where different movies were filmed, like Jurassic Park. During the two and a half hour tour we were able to get many fun pictures that will probably end up as my wallpaper on my computers for a while. When we were done we came back to the hotel for a little bit and then headed out to Duke’s for dinner.

P.S. Check out the pretty pictures.

So our first night as most of you know was spent at Cambria Pines lodge. We gave each other our gifts at that time. I got Kristen some sapphire/white gold earrings and a Nintendo DS Lite which I think she’ll enjoy, especially since she kept eyeing mine. She on the other hand, got me a beautiful Dean Edge 5-string bass, which I’m absolutely thrilled about. Unfortunately, she got to take hers, where as I had to leave mine in SLO until we get back. The room was very comfortable as it had a jacuzzi bathtub which was nice.

The next morning we got to enjoy breakfast with anyone that was around for the breakfast buffet. It was fun to see everyone again and we said our good-byes as we headed off to church. Church was great and we got to see all of our friends and headed to lunch at Sylvester’s Burgers. After we finished we headed back to our apartment to unwrap our gifts, everyone has been very generous.

That night we had decided to stay at Madonna Inn in the Bridal Falls room. It was fun because the shower was a waterfall. We went to dinner at the restaurant and they gave us a balloon with the words “Happy Honeymoon” written on it. The dinner there was very good and we enjoyed it alot.

The next morning we flew to Kauai and arrived at 11:40 Hawaiian time. After getting our luggage and our fun rental car we headed to the ResortQuest and checked in. First things first, we were tired so we took a nap, got up and ate dinner, watched the Wedding Singer in our room, and went back to sleep. The next day we just took it easy since we were still pretty tired from the flight. We started with breakfast here at the hotel which is really good, I had the waffles and Kristen had corned beef hash and eggs benedict. We just drove around a bit and visited a waterfall and that night we ate at a little Italian place down the road.

We’re having a great time and we’ll have more updates later.
