Waimea Falls Botanical Gardens, if you get the chance to visit the North Shore I highly recommend this little jewel ~ peacocks, waterfall & swimming hole, good ahi salads, gorgeous grounds.
Our place was filled with flowers, handmade furnishings and beautiful things from Bali. It was so peaceful. Although I must confess when we first got there I had a minor panic attack, no doors, one bedroom and handmade furnishings is not usually good for a 19 month old but Henry was a chap. We had an amazing time but I could only imagine how magical it would be as a romantic trip with Ross.
Between the ocean and our cottage there was this fountain for washing sandy feet and baby buns. It was just one of the many details that wasn't forgotten.
So for $225 a night we had a little special spot that was the back drop to our first family vacation {just our little family}. It was so special. Let me know if you are interested in going there, I can give you more details and tips if you might be bringing a lil'one.
How fun! We were just there a few months ago, and I have yet to fully blog about it. Thanks for reminding me that I need to do so haha! I knew exactly where you stayed, and it is so gorgeous. I can't wait to go back. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a real, beautiful vacation. A true escape from the world!
ReplyDeletelucky girl!! sigh, how I love Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteI was just running through your archives when I saw the picture of the Bishop Museum (actually, it was the whale suspended from the ceiling) and I had the biggest flash back.
ReplyDeleteWe lived in Hawaii from the time I was 6 till 12 and I have this memory of visiting THAT very museum on a field trip. I remembered that whale! and seeing some of the most lush ferns growing outside. Wow. Thank you so much for that. I hope you had a great, great visit!
Peace~
