Hawaii Adventure PART 2

So as previously mentioned Robert is terrified of heights, he is also very very afraid of water. Our trip to Kauai involved both of Roberts fears on a daily basis, which is quite difficult for anyone...however he was super positive the whole time! I say take your partner and have them face their worst fears with you so you know how you both will react...LOL. It gave me confidence that we can handle most anything :D

On the way to Waimea Canyon (I later found out you can float this river, if we go back that is definitely happening)

I like to explore, hike, and see things; I like to find the hole in the wall restaurant where the locals drink, I am a traveler, a wanderlust and the more Rob and I travel the more I  have noticed Robert seems to be a home body, (especially when the entire trip involved his fears). To try and make things more comfortable while we were there, we set up a sort of routine (found things that were like home or comforting). For me the hardest part about traveling is the food. On my birthday (which was also Mother's Day this year) Robert found a restaurant that was conducive to my tummy needs for our breakfast/brunch, it was called Common Grounds. The food was amazing and their music was just as good, Robert kept saying things like "This is your kinda place;" or "I bet you are the only person who knows this kind of music here." I think its comforting for him knowing my tummy is good. :P

Taro pancakes with Macadamia nuts~ HEAVENLY 

Tropical Fruit Brulee~creamy fruity amazingness

Fresh Fish Locks and Goat Cheese bagel

savoring his last bite :P

When you entered "Common Grounds" this is what you first see

One of my favorite things is animals; some of you know when I was younger I raised two chickens. I was ecstatic to see all the chickens and roosters in Kauai. This was on the way to breakfast and I had to shoo a mama and her babies off the road so I wouldn't squish them.

I also managed to catch a lizard (something that I also love to do). These lizards blend in with their surroundings and change colors! This one was brown until I was holding him then he turned bright green!

If you can see the tiny sand crab Robert caught, it blends in very well with the sand!
