Aloha! We just returned from two weeks in Maui. (Scott still thinks it is 2005) It was very relaxing, and a lot of fun! We stayed with our friends Ryan and Stephanie and their nearly three year old, Jonah. (Picture of the boys- Ryan, Scott, and Jonah above left) We also had five nights in a condo right on the beach which was a little bit like a second honeymoon (at least a longer and extended honeymoon!) We enjoyed the warm, tropical climate as we played on the beaches, snorkeled, parasailed, and just relaxed. We also got to spend some time with our friends Jon and Elissa from Colorado Springs that were in Maui at the same time. We went snorkeling with them, and had dinner with Elissa's family.(Picture above )We rented a "ghetto" older model convertable mustang for part of the time we were there which broke down and was replaced with a slightly better convertable mustang plus two more free rental days! We had the opportunity to drive around the entire island. We explored the south/ east side with Steph and Ryan while we drove the "Road to Hana" and camped for two nights near the "Seven Sacred Pools". We hiked past many pools and through a bamboo forest to an amazing 400 foot waterfall where we were refreshed by the cool water falling down the shear cliff.

This is the picture of our campsite to the left. The right is Scott with his snorkel gear outside our condo.

You might be wondering what the "Breakfast Platters" picture is. Scott made sure this was a part of our blog. McDonalds Serves Spam in Hawaii. Hawaiians LOVE spam... so does Scott. He was stoaked to try spam in Maui.

Parasailing was a blast! As they reeled us back into the boat, they dipped our feet into the ocean.

This picture was taken at the "Seven Sacred Pools" Scott and Ryan jumped off the cliffs at the top waterfall... it made Steph and I a bit nervous, but they had a blast. The picture at the bottom is the view from our condo! Two weeks in Maui was a much needed vacation and break for us both! Mahalo Ryan, Steph, and Jonah!! Aloha Maui!!
