What a wonderful day on Maui !






What a wonderful day in paradise! We spent the day driving the coast of North Maui. As we were driving we came along a great cove that had some awesome coral reefs for snorkeling. The highlight to my trip on Maui has to be Olivine Pools. This place was outrageous! We had to climb down a large lava cliff to find the lava swimming pools embedded in a huge lava shelf. As you are swimming in beautiful pools the ocean is just pounding down on all three sides. Dave was taking a picture of us three when a huge wave came crashing in as you can tell it soaked us. It was so breathtaking. On the drive back we stopped at a turn off to take in the view and as we where looking we all spotted a large school of dolphin jumping around in the ocean. Leah got to see dolphins YEA!

Lazy day in Maui





Today we headed up the road to eat breakfast at a little place called Gazebo. We had some mouth watering banana, pineapple, mac nut pancakes. While we were waiting for a table Leah and I walked down to some tide pools and did some exploring. We returned to the hotel to enjoy the day at the beach and pool. Watched yet another beautiful sunset as we ate dinner. The big piece of pie is called a Hula pie this is the second time Max and Leah enjoyed this ice cream pie! Dave enjoyed a glass of Shipwreck stout from Maui Brewing Co. We are all really enjoying our vacation!
