Kauai, Hawaii
What a way to kick off our year! Kauai was an absolute blast and we crossed so many things off our bucket-list! Hiking the Napali Coast was definitely the highlight of our trip and something that we have been dreaming up for a while now. Definitely better than expected and such a great week that we will cherish forever!
