Hawaii......love it!!

I just got back from a week in Hawaii and it was amazing.  We had planned this trip about a year ago and it was originally supposed to be in October but due to a little thing called having a baby we had to change the time. 

We went with both of our mothers, Jill and Cynthia, and of course our two girls.  Evie was very excited from the trip on the plane to the ocean and even the sharks.  She has NO fear!! 

We decided to stay in Kihei which is on the south side of Maui for a couple different reasons.  One being we had all been to Lahaina and two it is a lot less expensive.  We had rented a condo in on the bottom floor of a building with the most amazing grass I have ever seen and a enclosed swim area and a secluded beach perfect for Evie.  Later in the week she deemed it Evie's beach!!  The condo had three bedrooms and had a great Lanai and was complete adequate for what we needed.  Each grandma had there own space and Evie could run and play right in front of our lanai and we could keep an eye on her.  The best thing about the place is we could hear the waves from our room and check out whales in action!!

I have to admit we didn't do a ton of touristy stuff.  Pete and his mom tried several different spots for snorkeling and finally found the best place right in front of our room.  I spent a lot of time in the room trying to get the baby to sleep long enough so I could get a tan!  This happened rarely.  The grandmas were nice enough to let Pete and I go check out some fun happy hour spots in Kihei.  We also got to go back to where we got married which was special.  I still thank my lucky stars that I married such a great man.

Leaving Hawaii is never fun but I did meet Drea de Matteo in line of security.  Very nice lady who was complementing me on my mothering skills.  She was way more relaxed then i was.  Got to go baby is crying....go to Hawaii if you have never been its amazing!!
