The West Side

We made our way up Waimea Canyon on Thursday with a couple stops along the way. It was a decent amount of time in the car, but we played our island playlist and busied ourselves with the Suduko and crossword puzzles we found in the free paper Tanner had us pick up at the gas station. 

At the top of the road, we left Tanner in the parking lot and hiked into the further viewing point. We had a view down the Napali coast from the top. While there were clouds when we arrived, it cleared out while we were there. Incredible. The weather we had this trip had been spectacular. We made our way down the park for a picnic lunch spot and then made a couple stops along the way - another incredible canyon view down to the ocean and a view of Waimea Canyon inland. 

We stopped at JoJo's for Shave Ice in Waimea and then found our way to disc golf for the boys - we somehow lucked out to hit the 4-6 Thursday window that disc golf is allowed (not so lucky in not having the discs with us and having to double back). But, the boys were able to enjoy a round and I had packed beers in our cooler bag so we enjoyed looking out to ocean in our own impromptu happy hour. A quick stop at the grocery store to pick up provisions for dinner and a bit of time in the pool before we cooked up burgers and played some euchre to wrap up the night. It was a longer day than expected so I'm glad we got going.
