Waves and Whales - Kauai, Day 3

Yesterday was fabulous Day 3 in Kauai and we didn't do nearly as much driving as Days 1 an 2. 

I wanted to go and spend more time at the beach where we saw the whales on Day 2 since we didn't get to stay long so we packed up a picnic lunch and headed down the highway back to the beach. We saw lots of whales and we decided to go down the cliffside to the water to do some more exploring and we got even luckier and saw a sea turtle! He hung around for quite a while so I got a few pictures (one I posted below) and then we just roamed around the beach for a while checking out the tidepools and crevices in the lava rocks. So much fun. The excitement I get from being at the beach and all the creatures there sometimes makes me wish I had gone with Marine Biology instead of Child Development, but eh...ohhh wellll! =)

After our beach adventures we went to the market to get some stuff I forgot the other day, then we got some Shaved Ice (of course), then home and relaxed for a while before I made tacos for dinner, complete with all the fixin's! =)

On tap for today, hubby is currently watching the 49er game while I sit on the balcony writing this, then we are going back to Anini Beach to do some snorkeling out on the reef and who knows what else we'll venture out to do! <3
