Day 7 -- Queens Bath -- 6-10-09

We ended our outing on Day 7 by going to Queen's Bath.

*

On the way to finding Queen's Bath Coleman & I were in back of the Jeep and Coleman was navigating to Aaron, who was driving! Well Coleman kept getting us lost because he kept falling asleep on the job! We would wait for him to tell us where to turn--and he never would--So he got fired and Julie became the navigator! After a while we did find it!

*

In the guide book of Kauai, Karen & Brady had given us, it raved about this spot and we all wanted to see it! There were supposed to be lots of shallow pools to swim and relax in the sun. Well it was the wrong time to come because all the pools were empty or just had green murky water in them! So it took way TOO LONG to find it (no thanks to the sleeping giant--AKA Coleman) and the pools were not there! But we were determined to make the best of it--I mean we were still in Hawaii. So we hiked on the rocks along the beach instead--and still had a few adventures!

Julie & Aaron on the rocks--shaken not stirred!

Roni in her fun sun dress--Thanks Allyse & Tammy--Do I look Marilyn-esque?

Well Aaron & Coleman kept eyeing the family of boys who were jumping into the water! So before too long--they decided to join in!

Leaping Coleman!

Aaron--Ready

Set GO!!!!!!

How about another time! The boys really enjoyed cooling off in the ocean!Well I was NOT about to jump off the rocks--

But I did jump in--just about 5 feet above the water! But hey I jumped off the rocks and into the ocean!

We then put on our snorkel gear and swam with the turtles!

Kauai does not have seashells everywhere--too many tourists--so what we saw the most of (besides chickens) were Sea Turtles--and we LOVED it! Here are a few of the good shots of them from Queen's Bath!

There were also these little guys crawling around the rocks!Though our Queen's Bath experience was not quite what we expected--we enjoyed our afternoon and felt it was worth the trouble of finding it!
