Maui

We spent the first part of January in beautiful Maui! Pete and Joyce invited us to join them on their trip-and we couldn't turn it down. It was our 4th time to that island but we still found new things to do. We spent one day on the beaches of Kaa'napali which we had not previously explored. We also got up early one day and drove 2 hours to see the sun rise on Haleakala. It was gorgeous to see the vibrant colors reflecting off of the clouds-almost worth getting up at 4:00 am on your vacation :o)
We also stuck to some of our favorite traditions on Maui. We had several meals at the beautiful Five Palms restaurant, many sunset walks on Wailea's oceanfront path (while sipping on Lava Flows of course), and morning runs along the beach followed by trips to the Shaved Ice hut.
This time, we celebrated my 30th birthday while we were there. My mom even made me my favorite home-made white cake with rainbow chip frosting. The sun and gorgeous scenery made the big 3-0 easier to handle!
A few things that never change no matter how many times we go to Maui; we always have a wonderful time and we are never ready to come back home!
