We just got back from Maui, Hawaii this past sunday. We had a blast. This year we went with Mike's Mom and Dad, brother, and two sisters along with their spouses. We spent a week on Kaanapali beach at the Marriott, left our children at home, just adults. We had planned this trip at Christmas 2008 and seemed so far away and now cannot believe it has come and gone.
Sunday we spent the evening at a luau in a town called Lahaina and watched them roast a whole pig and then an evening of dancing. Earlier in the day Kristie had a beach side massage from Mike for Mother's day which was pure heaven.
Tuesday we took the long road to Hana. It has the be the prettiest drive in america. The waterfalls and hiking is amazing. So green and lush. Took all day to drive up and back, but we all rented convertibles which made the drive so much fun.
Snorkling is always a blast and especially this time as we were able to swim with about 100 spinner dolphins right off the beach at Honolua Bay. They were jumping all over. So close we could almost touch them.
One of the highlights was driving down the road and seeing two humpback whales right off the beach. They are usually not there that late in May but we got lucky to see them.
The zipline was a rush as well. Geez the whole trip was just fun. We had plenty of time to relax and catch some rays as well.
Our twins did great with Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Kim Yates. They were just fine for them and probably did not even know we were gone. We were fortunate to have them here so we could get away and not have to worry about leaving them. We were sad to leave Maui but very happy to see our children. It was our first real time away from them together and it felt great but different, almost like we were missing something. Cant wait to go back again next year.
Below is a slideshow with some of our fun times we had......
