Mahalo for grandparents...


With Patrick's parents in town to play nanny for Harper, and my spring break upon us, we took advantage and planned our first trip to Hawaii and our first time away from Harper. I cried off and on for the entire 6 hour journey to Maui and looked at my photo album 3 times daily, but it was worth it. Patrick and I fell in love with Hana and the rest of Maui...not to mention with each other all over again. Oh, and Harper, she was happy to stay home and be spoiled by Nene and Papa (We still can't seem to warm her occasional bottles to the right temperature. i.e Nene and Papa temperature.). Here are just a few of the 300+ shots from the trip.

The beach near our bungalow in Hana...Hamoa Beach.
The black sand beach

And the red sand beach


Our jeep on the grounds of the bungalow (we highly recommend where we stayed in Hana!).
One of the hundreds of waterfalls we saw.
The bamboo forest on the way to another amazing waterfall (see below)

The infinity pools near Oheo Gultch

The Venus Pool
The road around the south of Maui on the way to West Maui
Maui's volcanic crater

Paying homage to our Nene
Patrick took this so one day Harper would know what I did to be able to continue to breast feed her. (There's nothing like Catholic guilt.)
Big Beach in west Maui (one of our favorites before the trade winds came in)

Our last night, we stayed near Lahaina. We listened to a fabulous Hawaiian singer while enjoying dinner and several drinks.


Our last day we spent exploring Kapalua and surrounding areas.

We were so happy to come home 5 days later to our sweet little girl and a beautiful sign "she" made for us. Thank you again Nene and Papa.
