I’m starting to lose track of time… Not that I was great at keeping track of it before, haha! But the hours have been blending into each other, because when you’re at the pool, and you’re splashing around, time feels slow, but fast at the same time. It’s weird.
I was hoping that Connor would like the water. She’d never gone into a pool or the ocean before this trip… Well, we took her to Ocean Beach in SF once when she was about six months old, but she squealed and kicked when her toes touched the water. It was cold and gray, though. Not like the ocean here.
They have a really cool baby pool at the resort that’s shallow for the little ones, and the bottom of the pool is sandy. It’s a sandy bottom, and I brought the baby there yesterday.
I mean, it would have been fine if Connor wasn’t into it, but she laughed and smiled and played and had a good time.
I had a good time yesterday, too. I just hung out with El Hub and my brother all day long. We left all of our crap in the hotel room with my mom and dad, and then went to the pool. There are a bunch of pools on the property, and we went to the one with the water slide and — OMG! — these amazing hidden hot tubs with huge waterfalls.
When the hot water comes down over the rocks, and you stand underneath it, the water hits your back like a poor man’s shiatsu massage.
Anyway, we stayed at that pool for hours, and then got shave ice after that. It was like 12-year-old life all over again.
It was like grownup life after that, though, on the beach last night, because we cracked open a bottle of rosé…
Actually, we twisted off the cap. It was a very classy bottle of $11 rosé. And that just led to adventures untold.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Love both hats! Gotta stay safe from the sun!
I’m so glad Connor loved the water. 🙂
Idk where you’re at but I want to go! So beautiful.
Your hat is so cute, Karen! Where is it from? Glad you’re enjoying your trip so far!
Looks like a dream……?
What a cool resort! Water slides sound like so much fun. I haven’t been down one in ages. Enjoy your vacation! Miss Connor looks so cute in her sun gear. 🙂
What an amazing sunset That resort looks pretty cool. Keep up with getting Connor to be comfortable in the pool. It took Zack awhile, but once he felt good about it, he loved the pool. Now that he is a teen, he likes to kyaking and canoeing in lakes, not so much of a beach person.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
Connor is getting so big! I am glad she’s loving the pool. I fell in love with the water when I was a kid (until I saw the movie Jaws but that’s another story,ha!).
OMG, the place looks gooorgeouuus! Am going to Kauai for a few days next week… Can’t wait!
P.S. Yours and baby’s outfits look great! Much love…
I’ve worked as a swim instructor for quite a few years now as a part-time job, so I’m really excited to see Connor with you in the water! I mainly teach babies and really little kids, so I normally deal with kids who are taking their first swim lesson ever. Early exposure (and constant supervision!) is so important to making sure that kids are comfortable and confident in the water.
So glad you’re having a great time!! 🙂 Where on Oahu are you staying? (not the address or anything, but the general area). It looks beautiful. We stayed in Waikiki but, if we go again, we’d stay on the North Shore, I think. Your water looks too calm to be there. 🙂
Gorgeous! I recommend mixing up your rose a bit with a pitcher of frose!
Enjoy!
So happy to hear that Conor liked the water! I never thought about that. Looks like you guys are having fun!! btw, who’s taking care of Tabs?
Looks beautiful, Karen! Glad to hear baby girl loved the water 😉 and I am so deeply intrigued by this waterfall hot tub thing! Aloha!
Seems like you need an au pair out there. I can fly out, just sayin’.
Hey Karen-
I can’t believe that you went to Oahu and didn’t swing by to pick me up! 🙂
The resort looks fabulous and I am glad that Connor seems to enjoy the water,
Continue to enjoy to yourselves,
OMG!! these pictures are just breath taking ! Love , love the sunset pics and you with Conor in the pool. I have never gone to Hawaii, I envy you a bit 🙂 lol
What a place!
Enjoy your stay Karen and do not worry about us makeup addicts 🙂
xoxoxo
I am fascinated with photographs of clouds and yours are AMAZING! Enjoy every minute of your vacation. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds so dreamy! Which hotel are you staying at Karen? I’ve never been to any of the Hawaiian islands, but if I ever do, you sure are selling this hotel! I’d like to go one day…
I hope you enjoy every last drop of your trip 🙂
Haha nothin wrong with an $11 bottle of Rose!
Wow your resort sounds just divine! I hope you’ll do a post more detailed about it (like what island you’re on and the name of the resort!) ??
What part* of the island you’re on, I meant.
