Trip to Maui

Danny and I just got home from the an amazing week in Maui! 
It was a dream come true!

We left the kids with G&G Shields and headed to Maui for a week of relaxation, sun and fun! We met Tom & Wendy there and they let us spend the week with them in their beautiful time share at the Westin Resort Villas along the Kaanapali beach in Maui. 
Here are lots of pictures, mostly of the gorgeous resort and spectacular sights on the beach. 

The Westin is a fabulous resort with multiple pools, a waterslide, hot tubs, beach access, restaurants and more.  We spent most of our time at beach snorkeling, napping, swimming, surfing, reading, paddleboarding, or just walking along the sand. There was a huge reef right out in front of our resort, full of ll kinds of fish, octupus, lobster and sea turtles.  We snorkleled in that area usually two times a day, because it was so fun.  I love snorkeling in the warm, clear water.

This is the famous "Hula Pie", we all loved this dessert and ate it several times throughout the week.

Everynight the sunset was breathtaking.  We would always try to be outside in the evening to enjoy the gorgeous views over the ocean.



We had a great room with beach views from our room and balcony.  We would open the screen door and let all the fresh breeze in our room all night.  The bed was nice and cozy too!  The room was perfect, it had a kitchen, washer/dryer and our own entrance.



Here we are getting ready to snorkel, I didn't get any pictures of us with our masks on, but we looked cool. Ha Ha!

Danny bought a Ukelele and the guy at the store taught him a few chords, so we had fun listening to him play.  It's relaxing to listen to someone play. He has been playing a lot since he bought the Ukelele, and hopefully Taylor will learn to play too.

This was our favorite snack; fresh papaya with lime juice, it was so yummy and refreshing.  All of the food was great!

We had many delicious dinners at great restaurants.  I didn't get very many pictures with Tom & Wendy, but we had so much fun with them!  They are easy to travel with and enjoyable to be around.

Danny rented a surfboard for the week, and he surfed everyday.  The waves were small, but he still had fun.
I tried surfing , but didn't get any pics.  We also rented a paddleboard, and that was tons of fun.  It's harder than it looks to paddle around on the board, but we had fun trying.

The last night we ate a fancy resturant and Wendy ordered Spaghetti and meatballs.  Their meatballs are delicious, so we took a picture.  The rest of the menu was good too, Danny and I had Ahi tuna it was so yummy!



The night we flew out there was a huge rainbow in the sky. 
Maui is a beautiful island and we are so happy we were able to spend a week in the sun!





Thanks so much for G & G shields for watching the kids!  We really appreciate it.
Also thanks to Tom and Wendy for inviting us, we had an amazing week!
 We love Maui!
