I knew something was up since I got to Maui, some kind of surprise. Well, I woke up this morning to Moana and Becca waking me and telling me we were going to Lahaina. I’d known that since last night, but they wouldn’t tell me what we were doing. So I just got ready as […]

Day 13: Maui, Hawaii – Surfing into the Sunset

Slept in late this morning til Moana was out of school. About 2 we met up with her and headed out to Lahaina. But we took the back scenic way through and around the mountains. Oh. My. Goodness. Again…Maui does not cease to amaze me. The road was awesome. One lane road most of the […]

Didn’t really sleep. We left at 3am and didn’t lay down until 40 minutes before we left, so really I took a nap. We were headed to Haleakala Crater for sunrise. Moana’s whole family and a friend went so the van was loaded. Bout an hour and a half drive and none of us really […]

Day 10: Maui, Hawaii – Sabbath Relaxation

Today was so much fun. Long story short, we went beach hopping. This consists of going to a beach, enjoying it for a short period, hopping back into the car, munching on snacks, windows down, music blaring, and then getting out at another beach for a short period of time. Repeat. The beaches were all […]

Day 8: Maui, Hawaii – New Island, New Adventures

filed in

This morning we woke up early and hiked up Koko’s Head. We guessed that we’d make it to the top in under an hour, and we did. We made it up in 40 minutes. But it was definitely a cardio workout! And very hot out! The path up was an old railroad track and so […]
