Kauai Day 4 - A little more exploring and delicious food

Dani had a bad night with a stomach problem, so we started off a bit slower and relaxed a bit. Jared read a bit in the morning and then went for a run on the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail farther to the sea cave and back.

We went to breakfast in Koloa at La Spezia, Jared had Brie Stuffed French Toast, I had an english muffin and sprite since my stomach was having trouble.  We walked around the shops there and bought some keychains for the kids and a toe ring for Dani.  We also got some treats to bring home for Kaci and our friends. 

After the shops we went to Wailua Falls, we hiked down to the bottom. It was very steep and required help from some ropes that are tied there. We swam in the warm water in the waterfall pool.




After hiking back up we stopped at the Harbor Mall to get more pie from the Right Slice fully automated location (this time lemon and Lilikoi cheecake) then drove to Johnny Got Crabs and Jared had a softshell crab po’boy sandwich and after we went to Uncle’s for Hawaiin shave ice (Mango, Raspberry, Passionfruit).

We headed back to the resort and read for about an hour by the lagoon.  Dinner was with the Funeral Home Partners at the Beach House. The appetizers were lamb chops, crispy shrimp, poki on a chip, and a brie cheese tart with carmalized onions served out on the beautiful lawn right by the ocean as the sun started setting. The dinner was the same for everyone starting with Thai coconut crab cakes, arugula and goat cheese macadamia salad, macadamia crusted mahi and filet mignon with mashed potatoes and asparagus, and then a passionfruit mousse and flourless chocolate cake for dessert. The food was good, I was still not feeling well so only tried a bite of each dish. The sunset and ocean were beautiful.
