Aloha

I need to start off by saying thank you to everyone that help with my children while we were gone. I truly got to relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew that my kids were well taken care of. I love you guys!! This first picture is of us on the airplane getting ready to start our adventure.

We didn't get into Maui until 9:00 pm(1:00am in Utah). We got to our hotel about 10:00. It was pitch dark. I couldn't see anything but the lights from the hotels and streets. I always pictured landing in Hawaii and having it be like fantasy island. You know that TV show from the 80's. Big tropical plants a person greeting you with a lei. I was a little disappointed if I'm going to tell the truth. But we got the rental car and drove an hour to our hotel. In Hawaii it is pitch black at night. We stayed at the Royal Lahaina Resort. They ended up making a mistake on our reservation and they bumped us up to a nicer room...way nicer. We ended up with a beach front cottage!! The ocean was right out our back door. This is a pic from our back door.

It was simply breath taking.

I felt so spoiled. The night we got there. Branden had made arrangements for some flowers to be in the room. I think he was trying to get lucky. It was so sweet that he wanted everything to be perfect.

I was thinking, everyday this week I'll post some more pictures of the places and things we did while we were there. Until tomorrow.......Aloha
