Maui 2009

Chris and I had an amazing time in Maui!! It was gorgeous there! Of course we missed the boys but it was such a nice getaway for us and a great trip for us to reconnect without the daily stresses of life and of raising two very busy boys. :)

We arrived in Maui on Friday Sept. 18th. We spent Friday night and some of Saturday just taking it all in and checking everything out while getting ready for the race. Sunday was race day and what a day it was! We had so much fun running our races and then celebrating for the rest of the day after. :)

That left us with about 3 1/2 days to really enjoy Maui and all that it has to offer. The ocean was amazing. We were able to take in a Luau, go snorkeling, and do a lot of relaxing.

Chris checking out this amazing Banyon tree park on Front Street.

Just one of the amazing sunsets that we saw each night that we were there.

Me on the boat during our snorkel cruise. I was showing off what having two babies has created for Chris :)

We were lucky enough to see 2 Hawaiian dolphins (one of our crew members on the boat was a Marine Biologist so she told us all about them!) and they just kind of took places at each side of the catamaran boat and guided us along for about 20 minutes. It was awesome and it created some great opportunities for pictures. :)

Chris and I on the boat. We're on a boat! :)

Me with one of the dancers at the Luau. :)

Learning to Hula!

Chris and I at the Luau....so much fun!

Enjoying one of many Lava Flows in my coconut.....I couldn't go on a tropical getaway and not get some yummy tropical drinks. :)

Me on our balcony at our hotel. this is the view we woke up to every morning.....gorgeous!

Lei making class. It was fun to actually make a Lei and see how they are created.

Having dinner at Bubba Gump's right on the water.

Laying out on Monday.....I could have done this all day....I was a litte sore and it felt so good just relaxing and getting a tan. :)

Chris talking to.....Josh of course!....while we were watching the sunset and basking in the glory of the day. This was Sunday after the race and a day full of celebration! :)

Morning walk on the beach.....oh how I miss this already!

It was a great vacation and a wonderful getaway! We can't wait to get back to Maui someday....it was awesome!!
