For President's Day, we flew to Maui with the goal of seeing lots of whales. But since we were there, it seemed like a good idea to see a few other sights as well. After a traditional American brunch at IHOP, we drove out to investigate the Iao Needle. It's a distinctive mountain peak that stands in a valley where many Hawaiian battles took place long before Europeans showed up. It's also very pretty!
Marisa was very happy to be going on a "nature walk" (if we call it a hike, she says that she can't handle it and whines.... a nature walk is fun, though.)
It was a beautiful walk through a small park. Up the stairs, there was a viewing area to see the needle and the whole valley.
After all that hard work, Jillian had to find a relaxing place to catch her breath.
