maui 2010

i can finally say: I'VE BEEN TO HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what an amazing and beautiful place! i have to state that out of all the things i could possibly say about maui's beauty...i'll remember this the most: EVERYONE is so friendly and i LOVE that!! if you know me at all, being GENUINELY kind is one of my favorite traits in anybody. and it's sad because i find this quality rare in strangers especially - but man, maui gets two thumbs up...here are some pics of our "babymoon." {i don't really quite understand why they call it this}

{i asked scott if i would get a lei when we got off the plane...he smiled and said "no...that's just in the movies." but guess what?! when we got to our hotel, they lei'd me!!}

{the first viewpoint we stopped at on the way to lahaina}

{a beach near lahaina...forgot what it was called. dang that one piece of hair...}

{our hotel lobby-ish area}
{we found this ice cream shop...lappert's hawaii. YUM}

{we had to chase the sun this day...found a little private beach along the highway} {these next sequence of pictures makes me smile...i picture our little boy doing the exact same thing (with dad again of course). scott was trying to outsmart a sand crab...the last picture you'll see is the look of defeat}

{my alcohol free pina colada}

{watching scott boogie board while i, bathed in the sun}

{our last night in maui...the sunset was GORGEOUS}

{one of the best meals...nick's fish market, maui ~ the fairmont 2010}
