August 8

It actually didn't rain much today, so Adam and the kiddos took the opportunity to enjoy some time at the club pools after we had lunch at Keoki's Paradise in Poipu Beach.

As we waited for our food at lunch, Adam flipped through images on his phone. He uses a program that shows him photos that were taken x-number of years ago today, and today, it displayed a series of pictures from this date in 2009. When he showed me a few of me with Logan, I decided that I wanted to take a family photo (upper left).

Then this evening, we drove out to Polihale State Park to see the sun set over the ocean. Polihale is a gorgeous, lightly-used stretch of super soft sand located on the western shore of Kaua'i (right near the Pacific Missile Range Facility -- Isaac was very concerned that they'd shoot a missile at us). The beach ends as the majestic mountains of the NaPali coast rise up from the Pacific.

The only issue with Polihale is that getting to it requires a bumpy ride down a five-mile stretch of pothole-pocked dirt road. But we made it, and the kids had fun digging in the sand as the light faded. Unfortunately, the skies were largely overcast, but it was still a beautiful scene, and I'm thankful that we got the chance to see it.
