maui wowie.

Maui was a dream.  And since it has taken me so long to blog about it, it really does feel like a dream now!  It was our first vacation with just us and Finnegan and it will be one that we remember forever.  Finnegan was a champ on the flights, which was a HUGE relief!  He is very social and friendly and will flirt with you if you're a woman.  The trip was different than if it were just Michael and I, but I wouldn't have changed it.  It was so worth it to be able to see the reaction on Finn's face as he observed the world around him.  And if I could come back with any recommendation it would have to be to have the Hula Pie at Leilani's!

{someone got their own seat on the way there.  and slept for most of the long flight.}

 

 {best purchase.  nap times made easy.}

{we layed out here.  the westin resort has 5 pools and a waterslide- yes I went on it. these chairs overlooked the ocean.}

 {finn slept for most of the hike.  he's in there somewhere.}

 {this hike, by the way, was the coolest!  The bambo lined path was unreal!}

{Road to Hana.  Beautiful scenery.  Miserable car ride.  We were SO car sick.  Winding roads for about 1 1/2 hours.  We took a less traveled path home and boy was it worth it.  Breathtaking views.  The sun was setting.  It was picturesque.}

 {my main man. and his main man.}

 {buddies forever.}

 {see what I mean? he has the best reactions.  we took him to the aquarium.  he loved the fish and sharks!}

 {snorkeling boat ride.  we saw huge sea turtles.  i overcame my fear of snorkeling and got pretty close to some fish and turtles.}

 {watching the sail go up.}

 

 {first told the captain to scoot on over.  he said, "i got this, guys."}

 {i love these two with all my heart.}

 {we ate dinner on the beach. and watched this beautiful sunset.}

 {took an early morning walk with my buddy to let papa sleep a little longer.}

{finn- the life of the party!  Mike loves this picture because it looks like finn is in the middle of telling us a really funny story.}

remember.  get the hula pie!
