The Return of Taco

We finally picked up Taco a couple of nights ago from his "second home." George and Laura kindly housed Taco for the past month. This evening was the first time Jeff and I walked him. We went to the bike path along Kealia Beach which is about 5 minutes from home and provides beautiful views of the ocean.

While there, a man pointed out that we couldn't walk dogs past a certain point on the path. He showed us this spot on the sidewalk (see picture). Ridiculous!

Bubba buns

Speaking of NOT cooking, here we are at Bubba's Burgers EATING OUT. A burger costs about four bucks. That's about as much, if not cheaper, than JUST the chicken broth used to make the chicken curry I mentioned in the prior post. And don't tell me anything about how cooking at home is healthier, because both the burger AND the curry made me feel bloated. Anyway, we went to Hanalei town so Jeff can check out spots for an upcoming photoshoot and so I could see where my future workplace (Hanalei Elementary) is located. Hanalei is a quaint, colorful town with ocean and mountain views. And cheap burgers!

On the way home, I had a first-time experience. We were trailing a bunch of cars that were driving 25 mph in a 50mph zone. I don't why. I've yet to understand Kauai traffic patterns.

House wife

Look who's getting all Martha Stewart-y. Dishes, laundry, cooking... all in a dress! Nah, I don't know what I'm doing here (probably filling up a water bottle before the circuit assembly) but I look very domesticated, huh? I've been enjoying doing things that involve a stove and raw food. BUT according to my financial analysis of the cost and labor (based on my salary) involved in the last meal I cooked (chicken curry), "cooking in" can cost just as much (if not MORE) than "eating out."

There, I said it!!!

Let's go to Kintaro's!!!

Eastside is the new Westside

Mom flew to Kauai with us the week after the wedding to spend time with Yolanda and Robert Marin. We checked out some waterfalls and ate at Michi's fave restaurant, Kauai Pasta.

Sneaky peeky

First, we wanted to share "sneak peek" pictures from our wedding photographer, Ryan Best. These pictures are from his blog: http://lifeheldstill.blogspot.com/
He and his assistant Ben did an awesome job capturing moments on our special day. Right after the ceremony, we headed over to Menchies for some fro yo, then to the train tracks at Kalaeloa (or as Kelly calls it: Kale... Kalo... Kela... Barbers!).


Did you figure out what the numbers in the picture represent?

It took me an eon to figure it out.

The numbers are our wedding date:

03-13-10.
