Thank you!

Thank you to my wonderful in-laws for letting us, once again, crash their Kauai vacation. We are the biggest tag alongs in the history of the world. They were wonderful hosts - so fun to be with, and so quick to do the activities Dave and I preferred. We had such a great time with you guys.

The picture above is after they treated us to the all you can resort buffet including prime rib, king crab legs, shrimp, sushi & chocolate fountain! (Yes, there was a salad bar, and no I did not have one drop of salad. I reserved all stomach capacity for protein and sugar.) I'm pretty sure I ate at least 2 full pineapples dipped in dark chocolate. I ate myself so sick that I slept horribly that night, and couldn't eat for another 20 hours. And yes, I would do it again in a heart beat.

Turns out eating was quite a theme this trip. We ate out every...single...meal. And oh it was so good! To emphasize the dedication to eating, here is a picture of my father-in-law's breakfast one day: That's right - rice, hamburger, eggs & gravy - and you thought I was joking! Ok so this isn't exactly what I had for breakfast...but I did have 2 enormous macadamia nut pancakes, lathered in butter & syrup.

When we weren't eating, we tried to burn calories so we could rally an appetite for the next meal. We ran, walked, hiked, swam (including a game of freeze tag), did lots of reading by pools & beaches (that burned at least 3 calories) and did some cliff jumping & rope swinging.

It was a great time. Thanks again for sharing your vacation with us!

Our only comment is, "When do we go again?" We enjoyed having you go with us and appreciate your slowing down just a bit so we could keep up with both of you.
