Andy and I snuck away for a week long trip to Maui earlier this month. We decided this would be a great way to celebrate his birthday, my upcoming birthday, and our upcoming 7th wedding anniversary in August. We had a blast. The only downside is the week we spent in Maui the weather in Oregon was actually better. Note to self...next time we go to Maui we'll go during an Oregon winter. All in all it was a great trip. Learned more about the island, figured out our favorite spots to go, and are closer to finding the perfect hotel/location to stay in.
Picking up our baby. 2013 Black Mustang! LOVE
Love seeing the beautiful ocean just off the road
Valley Isle AKA "Hurricane Hotel" because of the wind that whips through the rooms.
Beach in front of the hotel
11th floor view. Our screen door almost flew off the balcony. I'm not kidding when I said it was windy.
Clouds like this rolled in every afternoon
We love shave ice. Yeah you can get these everywhere, but there is one place that is hands down better than anything else in the world. really.
convertible hair.
Best snorkeling was at Honolu'a bay. We went back multiple days.
We found turtles back in that second cove before you go out to sea. So sweet!
Still more honolu'a bay
Surf spot on the North side
This day was nice until the wind blew over one of those lounge chairs across from us. Still not joking. I was afraid to relax and lived in fear of a head injury from flying pool furniture.

Almost time to go home.
