Up and off early to LAX on our way to Kauai this morning. Found parking close to the airport. Enzo liked riding in the shuttle bus without being in a car seat. Check was easy, and we let Enzo run free in the terminal to try to burn off some energy before the flight.

We started to give Enzo a few of his 99 cent store toys soon into the flight,which he really enjoyed. The big hits were the gorilla and the magnetic drawing board. He took a short nap in Zoe's lap pretty early in the flight, and then wanted to walk in the aisle. We calmed him with some Monsters Inc on the laptop.

He really started to get antsy and tired about 3 hours into the flight, but we couldn't get him to sleep which was unfortunate. He proceeded to have about a 30 minute meltdown. There was really nothing to do but hold on to him and let him cry and wriggle. Mercifully, he gave in and fell asleep again. Zoe made me offer everyone around us a cocktail when we first got on the plane, and I think they were wishing then they had accepted.

He was a little out of sorts when he woke up an hour later, but he hung in there until the we got to Honolulu, about a 5.5 hour flight. During the two hour layover in Honolulu, he ran around the terminal, ate a $7 hot dog, and shared an ice cream with mommy.

We arrived on Kauai around 4:30PM. The minute we go to the hotel, we went to the pool. Enzo was so happy to be in the water. The kiddie pool was just shallow enough for him to stand, which he thought was great. We got room service for dinner, then walked down to explore the beach in front of the hotel. Enzo does love the beach.

He went to sleep with no problem around 8:PM Hawaii time in the nice crib the hotel had waiting in our room.
