Camping Big Sur June 9-11

We went camping with Gavin, Christina, Varni, Divesna, Kem and Linda in Big Sur over the weekend. First night the Vissers made an oxtail/banana potjie. Linda and Kem made brunch the next day. They made some of the best lamb dishes we've ever had and also had fruit, pitas, yogurt...
Varni and Divesna made 2 curry potjies that night; lamb and prawns...unbelievable stuff!!! Christina and Gavin did the last brunch and pulled out more stops. Bacon, eggs, salsa, gaucamole...for the best breakfast burritos on the planet! Except for the fact that we were freezing our buds off all weekend and didn't have enough warm clothes, it was fabulous. We did a small hike to a waterfall that falls on the beach, very pretty.

Hawaii, Kauai Vacation

The Vissers and Montoyas (our neighbors) flew to Kauai, one of the islands of Hawaii, on Friday May 26th. We had a blast. We rented a house in Poipu beach. The ocean is beautiful, clear, blue and warm. We were walking distance to a great kids beach. Liam and Joshua had great fun playing in the water. We took Marcy, the Montoya's babysitter, along so that the adults could do stuff on their own. We ate out twice at top restaurants, went on a long 8 mile hike to a fabulous waterfall, played golf on the famous Poipu Bay Golf Course, went for a relaxing hot stone spa treatment at he Hyatt's Anara Spa and took a helicoper ride over the island and coastline where we saw among other things the Jurasic Park Waterfall. It was a trip to remember.
