It was a lovely drive to our hotel on the west side of Maui. As soon as we got to the ocean, we could see whales spouting all over the place. I was driving and couldn't stand not being able to watch, so we stopped at the first scenic look-out and watched for awhile. It's amazing to realize how many whales migrate to the waters off Maui every year - sightings from the shore were easy!
Finally, we tore ourselves away and did a drive through the town of Lahaina. Strangely, it's a hotbed for art and gelato. We stopped at Paradise Found Creperie to indulge in some awesome gelato and made a promise to ourselves to return the next day to try their crepes and paninis (we did!)
When we finally made it to our hotel, we were stunned by how big and beautiful our room was. We stayed at the Ka'anapali Shores Resort, just north of Lahaina. Our "room" ended up being a two bedroom apartment that is, in many ways, nicer than our current house. The kitchen was certainly bigger and it even had granite counters. I wanted to move in and live out my life in Maui.
But the kids were eager to get to the pool and play, so off we went. Mike is such an awesome dad that he joined in and they all had a blast. Check out the background - pool right on the ocean. Paradise!
