Maui

On Friday we went snorkeling at old airport beach where we saw turtles, an octopus, tons of beautiful coral and tropical fish. In the afternoon we went to D.T. Flemings to boogie board. I was having a bit of trouble catching the waves and got "washing machined" (Nic thinks Tyler and my dad made that term up, but that is exactly what it felt like). Nic helped me catch a few waves and when you actually catch them it was really fun. After a few rides, I decided I was better suited to taking pictures of the boys from the beach. It was really fun watching them. That night we went to Roys for dinner and it was amazing as usual.

On Saturday we took Grandma and Wil to Black Rock to help them snorkel. Neither of them had ever done it before and they both loved it. They got to see a turtle, a morey eel, and tons of fish. Grandma couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was for the rest of the trip! That afternoon we went down to the Grand Wailea to enjoy the pool and impressive water slides. We didn't have tons of time, but it was really fun. For dinner we went to Spago and Wolfgang Puck was there. He chatted with my parents for a while and apparently talked to the boys about his skiing career. He is such a funny and nice guy and it always impresses me that you can eat at his restaurants and he is actually there! I've only been to Spage Beverly Hills once and twice in Maui and he is been there 2/3 times! Anyways, dinner was fantastic and taking pictures with Wolfgang was a special treat (especially for Grandma who is a huge foodie!).

On Sunday, Nic and I snuck in one last snorkel at our favorite spot. The coral itself is just so vibrant and gorgeous and there are always tons of turtles! We also saw giant puffer fish, a huge moray eel and this funniest little fish made eye contact with me for about 30 seconds. It was such a fun morning. In the afternoon Nic, Justin, my dad, and I swam from the house to the beach next door. We didn't have any snorkel stuff and kept almost running into turtles. It was a really nice swim. Unfortunatly after that we had to pack up and head off. We did manage to squeeze in one last amazing dinner at Mama's Fish House before heading to the airport for our red eye flight home. It was a short trip, but no trip to paradise is too short. We had such a fantastic time!
