Hawaii

Shad and I went to Maui in December. We had the best time! We stayed at the best hotel. It was called the Grand Wailea Resort and Spa. The pools were so much fun, I wish I would have taken a water camera so we could have gotten better pictures of the pool. There were seven water slides and a water elevator. The water elevator was operated by 18,000 gallons of water. It is the only one in the world. There was also an adult pool, but we never went there because we had to much fun on the water slides. =)

If you look to the left you can see the door to the water elevator

cute little chapel there -

Beautiful sunset

We went on a sunset dinner cruise. It was very cloudy and windy so there was not a sunset, but we did see a whale!



if you look real close you can see the whale.. I did not take a very good picture.. I was to excited.

One morning we got up at 3:30... Yes I said it 3:30 to watch the sunrise.. It was a long drive and a little rough on me, but we made it and it was freezing up there. My friend Valerie that lives in Maui told us it was going to be cold so make sure we dress warm. Valerie thought it was chilly when we were eating dinner outside the night before and it was still like 70 degrees... so Shad and I were thinking it won't be bad. Well it was like 40 degrees and it was cold. I think we were the only ones wearing shorts!! Good thing I took the blanket from the hotel. It really was amazing there. The view was beautiful. On the way up it felt like we were driving in the stars.

We also went to a Luau... the food was a little questionable for me but the entertainment was great. There was a fire dancer at the end of the show and it was pretty cool to watch.




to bad this picture is a little blurry.

On our last day there we spent some time at an aquarium. They had all kinds of cool fish there. This is one of my favorites. It was called a frog fish.



All and all we had a great time!! Weird to think that was our last trip with just the two of us. Well maybe not our last, but you know what I mean =)
