In just a few days, we will start our journey to Lihue, Kauai for a 5 day vacation with my whole family. I’m so excited to spend some time exploring the little towns, relaxing on the beaches, and just being on island time! So of course I have to share with you all what I’m packing in my bag and what the little one has packed. Not only is my love of lists showing through, but my extreme planning trait is quite evident. As usual, I’m trying not to overpack and have a bunch of extra things- Lucy has a few more extra outfits than I do but I figured, well, toddlers! As for activities, I am planning for mostly outdoor exploring in warm, humid weather. There are amazing hikes in the area, but I’m not expecting too intense of situations since there will be multiple little ones tagging along! My KEDS or Teva sandals will do just fine.
What I’m most excited about for this trip (other than spending time with family) is watching Lucy experience a warm beach. We’ve been to the Oregon coast which was super fun but cold! She was one and a half and couldn’t stop eating the sand- it was hilarious! I’m sure she will love playing in the sand again, but hopefully her tastebuds will have evolved over the past few years. I also can’t wait to eat authentic Hawaiian shaved ice, go tidepooling, and watch the sunrise on the beach. Ahhhhh, I’m relaxing already!
