Monday August 1st
The day began with the sounds of rain falling and birds chirping on Kauai at 6am. 8 of the guys had a tee time for 830 a.m. so we hoped it stopped before then. As per island weather, it stopped at 7 and out came the sun and up went the humidity. It was a beautiful start to the day.
We eventually got moving and made our way to the golf course a whole 300m down the road. One guy threw out his back the night before so we were down to 7. We had an amazing round of golf. Darren managed to win the closest to the hole and take a few bucks off all the young fellas. Overall score of 85 and very pleased considering the amount of ‘fluids’ consumed in the process…
We got back from the course and sat around for a while. The girls had taken the kids and gone to the Market for a couple hours in the morning and got lots of fruit and vegetables for the rest of the week. We packed up the kids and headed to the ocean for a few hours of swimming and boogie boarding. The waves were like Bondi Beach in Australia and very strong. You had to keep an eye on any kids (and a couple adults!) as there was even a bit of undertow on occasion. We met people from all over the US especially California as many of them prefer to vacation here. After heading back to our condos and showering up, we packed up a few things and headed out again. We made our way down to Dan and Jessica’s condo area and began the Wedding Rehearsal bbq.
Dan and Jessica (along with their parents) prepared Pork Tenderloin with potato salad, green salad and 7 layer dips. A great time was had by all as we stayed til sunset – which unfortunately arrives just after 8pm – and when it gets dark – it gets DARK! We got kids home and ready for bed. In a moment of weakness, Darren and Krista were talked into accepting Sienna(6) and Lucas(3) for a sleepover. This was going to be a long night…
