joey and i are one lucky couple. with some great friends living in maui and a dad who works for the airlines we were able to escape to maui for an awesome vacation!
our 1st day, we enjoyed the beach with candise (while jerm slept after working overnight) and boogie boarded a bit.
that night we grilled out on the beach....
and the boys (of course) hacked a bit (with a hacky sack that is).
the next morning we snorkeled in the chilly water....we saw 3 eels(ew!), this turtle, and a bunch of beautiful fish!
that afternoon, we went on a whale watching boat. and saw some spectacular breeches! don't know if you can see in the pictures very well, but this was just one of many whales we got to see.
our 3rd day, we drove the road to hana. a very scenic, very windy road. but it was so fun to get the "insiders" tour from jeremy and candise who showed us some amazing things.
rainbow eucalyptus..gorgeous!
jeremy got a little nervous when they couldn't find us in the bamboo forest
after a 2 mile hike we made it to this 400ft waterfall...
thats joey in the lower left side of the picture
our last stop on the road to hana was the black sand beach
there is a place at the black sand beach where you can snorkel in caves. so us 3 crazy people decided to give it a try.
i made it through 3 rooms and then returned to the safety of candise, but it was a really cool experience.
our last morning in maui, we paddle boarded. fun, but a workout! as we were paddle boarding, the coast guard kept flying over. after we got back to shore, it turned out that there had been a tiger shark sighting at a beach a few miles down the road and they were looking for it. a little scary but don't worry, jeremy says its a very docile shark :)
after another beach picnic, we headed to lahaina where the adriches honeymooned in 2011. here you can jump off black rock so of course, we had to give that a try too. this is joey jumping. i jumped too but from a much lower place (about where joey's feet are in this picture). i think im losing some of my guts as i get older and that makes me a bit sad :(
it was a great trip and i really think the best part was getting to spend so much time with joey, candise, and jeremy. can't wait to see what God has planned for them and our future church in maui (just dreaming here people, just dreaming!)
