Hi or I should say Aloha~~
I am back..well at least for a little while. We just got back from a family trip that we have been waiting to go on for several years. We saved and saved and finally made it to Hawaii. We had a such a fun time. We stayed in Kaanapali, Maui. We opted to stay in a condo which was the way to go. We loaded up with food and drinks at Costco so we has breakfast and lunch taken care of. Very helpful. We enjoyed fantastic dinners out. We swam, took walks, laughed, snorkeled, swam with sea turtles, parasailed, banana boated, ziplined, ate, drank, and ate and drank more. Truly heavenly.
The sunsets were so unbelievable. I went crazy with the camera.
Here are some of the my favorite pics. We took over 400 pics !!!!!!
View from our lanai......How I long to be back
See the rainbow

That's my son Blake jumping off Black Rock! It was awesome, but I was a nervous wreck. He did it 4 times!!! That is his cousin Brooke behind him waiting to jump too. We unexpectedly ran into them. What a fun surprise:)
Cheers and Good bye Hawaii...until next time.
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer!

Oh you are SOOOO lucky!!! That is exactly where we went for our honeymoon!!! Ahhh I sooo miss it! I believe we stayed at the Sheraton at Kaanapali Beach in Maui. But we would most definitely go the Condo route if we went again because it is sooo much easier to go grocery shopping and utilize the kitchen amenities for meals vs. spending tons of $$ on eating at restaurants!!! Our view from our terrace was the rock where they jumped off of! Not sure if it's the same rock that your son is jumping off of...OMG I would have had a heart attack if my son did that!!! lol Looks like sooo much fun! Maui suits you - you look beautiful and happy with your fam! ;) I hope to save up once again to go...it is so expensive!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, wishing you a wonderful week. Can't believe the kids start school next week (boohoo!)!
XO's,
Jessie

Looks like you had a fun time- I hope your parasailing experience was better than some of the people we saw :) they looked like they were getting dragged / drowned! eek! gorgeous pics.
ReplyDeleteJumping of that cliff looks really fun. I want to do that now. \
