Mellowing out, sitting around the Family Room at my dad and Mary's house in Kauai. 10pm. Must to bed in the next hour or so, so that I can wake with the sun. So, a bit of writing, then some reading. Then perhaps some sleeping.
Another pleasant family dinner tonight with more of the same spaghetti, chicken, shrimp, salad, and bread as last night, followed by chocolate cake. Followed by The Princess Bride.
Today was our Poipu day, when we repeat many of the things we loved from our initial trip to the area in 2001(!!) when we spent two weeks(!!) in the Poipu area.
So.
A t-shirt from Pohaku T's. They are currently fighting the good(??) fight against adiarydairy farm in the area. Because cows are evil. And they are. Beef bad. Dairy products bad. (They both make me sick.)
An ice cream from Lappert's. Really more my dad and K's thing than mine, but I happily went along with Lactaid in my pocket. Love Potion #9 is apparently chocolate with raspberry sorbet and dark chocolate chunks. Been that way since 1956. I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a bite. Quite tasty.
A swim at Lawai Beach, the best snorkeling spot I know of on Kauai. Lots of amazing fish. No dad though; he discovered his swim trunks were back at the house. I am the man that swims alone.
A trip to Spouting Horn. My dad and I saw spouting; Kimberly bought jewelry.
A quick visit to Mary's store at the Poipu shopping center.
Lunch at Poipu Tropical Burgers. Been eating there since 2001.
Nothing amazing, everything pleasant and nostalgic and filled with family.
