Can you tell we are excited to get away by ourselves for a whole week?!?!
We flew first class on Hawaiian Airlines...and it was awesome!!!
This was our first time on the island of Maui, and we loved it!!!
Our first stop was at the car rental place to pick up our convertible mustang......
Our next stop was the Four Seasons Hotel......this has got to be one of the nicest places Russ and I have ever been to!! The service is outstanding, and the property is beautiful!!
This was the beach that we played at everyday. It is right on the Four Seasons property. The clearest water and softest sand I have ever seen. We went snorkeling right along those rocks. We also enjoyed paddle boarding. We would paddle out quite a ways and watch for whales, which we saw quite often.
The hotel staff surprised us with a gift to celebrate our 25th anniversary.
We enjoyed taking walks along this path.
There were some amazing homes that we dreamed about owning one day!!!
There was a beautiful tennis court where we took a lesson from the tennis pro,
and enjoyed playing a few games.
One of the days we took the "road to Hana". It was a three hour drive through some very narrow, winding roads. The scenery was gorgeous. There were several things to stop and see along the way. We took a 2 mile hike through a lush forest to get to a 400 ft. waterfall.
We also hiked to the seven pools which fed into the ocean.
It was so windy here we almost lost our hats. The power of the water in the ocean is amazing!!
Another stop was at a black sand beach with these amazing arches and blowholes.
We went out on the ocean in an outrigger canoe. We saw sea turtles and whales off in the distance.
Our last morning we went on a sunrise whale watching trip aboard this huge catamaran.
We saw so many pods of whales all around us. Such an awesome experience!!!
We had such an amazing time in Hawaii!! We can't wait to go back.
Thanks to Emily for staying with the children while we were gone!!!
