Driftwood Kauai!

Isn't this cool? I love it!

Kauai, at times, especially after a storm has a lot of driftwood on it's beaches. Speaking of storms, we had a good one this week. Hurricane Flossie, I'm so glad you just caused heavy rain!


So, during heavy rain, water rushes down the Wailua River and pushes fallen trees down to the beach.  All that driftwood is your opportunity to get crafty! Build beach front property...

There's always sunshine after the storm!

Have fun and stay creative!

Even if you've never been to Kauai, you've probably seen it many times. Kauai has been the background for movies since 1933!

Here's a few you may know...
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides-Arrgh Matey...Johnny Depp! 
The Descendants-Filmed a scene in a favorite dive bar, Tahiti Nui in Hanalei.
Soul Surfer-A  lot of Kauai in this film. The inspiring story of surfer Bethany Hamilton!
Lilo and Stitch-This is stretching it, but, if you watch the movie you'll recognize Kauai.
Jurassic Park- Breath-taking shots of Kauai!
6 Days 7 Nights
George of the Jungle
Outbreak-Morgan Freeman & Dustin Huffman! You can see the set along the Wailua River.
North
Honeymoon in Vegas-Sarah Jessica Parker, James Caan and Nicolas Cage.  "Kapa'aa?"
Lord of the Flies
The Thorn Birds
Uncommon Valor
Raiders of the Lost Ark-Harrison Ford. Indy swings across the Huleia stream.
Fantasy Island-Not a movie, but the opening scene  is Wailua Falls. "Da plane, Da Plane!"
Gilligan's Island-Also for TV, one of my favs, opening scene filmed at Moloaa Bay.
Donovan's Reef
Blue Hawaii-Our favorite Elvis movie! Lots of Kauai and the Coco Palms Resort in Wailua.
South Pacific-Based on the book Tales of the South Pacific many scenes were filmed on Kauai.
It's fun to see something you recognize from Kauai even if the movie is animated!

Which movie is your favorite?

Have a great weekend!

Aloha!

Here's our fun little table centerpiece that my daughter helped with. In the background is a chalkboard.
