We just got back from an amazing 12 day stay in Maui. I took too many pictures to count so I have made 4 separate blog posts for 4 different categories of our trip. At the end of this webpage, make sure to click on "older post" to get the other 2 blog posts from this trip.
It has been over 2 years since our last travels to Maui and this trip has been much anticipated. Directly off the plane, our first stop was Aloha Mixed Plate in Lahaina for a late lunch. The restaurant is oceanfront with a great view and amazing island food. It was a great way to kick-off our trip!
We stayed in Napili for our first 4 nights on the island. Napili is a gorgeous part of Maui with a lot of rainfall. The scenery is lush and green. Rainbows are a common sight, The weather is cloudy and sunny but always warm and perfect for swimming at the beach.

Beach and boogie boarding time!
"Little hoppy" birds loved it when Maggie, Kate and Will fed them chips. It freaked me out how many birds would come to get fed so I stayed back and took pictures.
One unfortunate incident in Maui occurred when we had to take Kate to urgent care due to a respiratory infection and pink eye. She had had a high fever for over a day but rest seemed to help her feel better. While out to dinner on our 3rd night, we discovered that Kate's eye was pink and goopey. We located the nearest urgent care and they had to call in a doctor since it was after-hours. Sure enough, she had pink eye so we had to get her antibiotics and eye drops.
While waiting for her prescription to be filled we witnessed a spectacular sunset.
The next day we headed to the Whaler Shopping Village on Kaanapali Beach for Hula Pie. Will treated us to the Original (macadamia nut ice cream and Oreo cookie crust) and a S'more Hula pie. It was AMAZING!!!
We ate breakfast at Napili Shore's restaurant, The Gazebo, twice for breakfast. This restaurant is my absolute favorite breakfast destination. Their macadamia nut/pineapple/banana pancakes are to die for! Will stood in line for us, starting at 6:45am so we could be in the first seating at 7:30. He is my hero!

We always love strolling down Front Street, looking in all the eclectic shops, finding all the "silly sailors", exploring under the famous banyan tree and taking in all the sights.
Love those sunsets!!!
Pure Happiness!!!
