I was so lucky to get to celebrate my birthday today during our trip to Kauai. I must say that spending it with you and your dad, in such a lovely location, is the best a girl could ask for. But beyond that, simply having you – my sweet, happy and healthy baby girl – is what made my birthday perfect.

We celebrated the day by first enjoying some yummy bloody mary’s and banana macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup. Then we headed to my favorite bay (Nawiliwili Bay) for some stand-up paddle boarding. This is the spot where I first tried SUP, but last time wasn’t brave enough to try the waves, opting instead to stay in the sheltered, relatively smooth part of the bay. Today I tried riding some waves but fell virtually every time, but still had lots of fun.

There I Go!

Then your dad and I grabbed beers at Duke’s before heading home to get ready for our nice dinner out at Roy’s. We had a great day and I couldn’t dream of a better way to have spent my birthday.
