Weeee'rrrreee baaaack!!! We have returned safely from a marvelous time in Maui. When we left yesterday the temperature was 85 degrees - when we woke up this morning in the NW - the temp was 25!!! We had a quiet Christmas morning and are so thankful of the opportunity to have had such a wonderful vacation. Working to settle back in to the climate as well as preparing for back to work on Monday - aargh!!
Here are some highlights as well as a few things we learned in Maui -
Did you know there are 15 ways you can tie a sarong?
Did you know that Maui boasts some of the most beautiful sunsets - made even more grand by my kids in them!!!
My husband's new favorite shirt - not sure how a tie will look with this when he returns to work? Hoping he will surrender it so that I can wash it soon!!!
Some of the rules for the trip - we found this list the first night in Maui at "Cheeseburger Island Style". I would love to say rule #1 was followed - however confined to a one room hotel with a teenager and a 9 year old - there was some whining!!!
I wish they always got along like that - in the wave is Boogie Board Dad - we couldn't get him out of the surf - killer waves on Tuesday and Wednesday - the ultimate for boogie boarding!!
The trip to Haleakala - 37 miles of winding road - but was worth the drive. On the way down - Kit was quite excited as we drove through the clouds - she was reaching out the car window "grabbing" the clouds and exclaiming - "I can't believe I am touching the clouds!" It was so fantastic to experience this through her eyes!!! I had never really thought about how spectacular it is to "touch" the clouds.
And now we have some sunglasses - K looks about 21 in her sunglasses - how quick they grow up!!
Boogie Board Dad - carting all the towels and gear to the beach!!!
Another Maui sunset with my beautiful kids - this was right before the Luau.
