Maui

We got back from Maui on Sunday morning after a week in heaven! Maui is so gorgeous and we had so much fun. Clara did so great on the plane rides and sleeping in a new place, and being constantly on the go. We did lots of hiking, snorkeling, swimming, lounging, paddle boarding, and Jordan did a morning scuba dive on the last day.

Ka'anapali Beach

We stayed at the Royal Lahaina Resort on the Ka'anapali beach. It was an excellent beach and our room was a "garden cottage," it was one of many little cottages right on the beach. I preferred this over staying in a high rise hotel.

The Road to Hana

The road to Hana was definitely an adventure. There isn't anything in Hana, it is the journey that is incredible. It is the most lush jungle and absolutely stunning coastal views. It is also very winding and narrow with blind corners and often with only one lane. Rarely can you drive over 25 m.p.h. It is on this road that we got a flat tire (Jordan quickly put on the spare and we continued on), and scratched our bumper while trying to pull over to let someone pass. We left at 7:30 a.m. and didn't make it back to our room by 7:00 p.m. It was a long day. But we saw incredible water falls and took some fun hikes along the way. It was definitely worth it!

The Hula Girl

We took a 65 foot Catamaran sailing/snorkeling cruise one day. They took us to Honolua Bay which had spectacular snorkeling. The clearest and bright blue water you have ever seen with insane amounts of fish and corral reefs. The water was the perfect temperature, just cool enough to be refreshing.

It was definitely different traveling with a baby. Jordan and I took turns doing a lot of things, like snorkeling, swimming, and paddle boarding. I must admit that I am a chicken sometimes doing things by myself. I couldn't go as far as I wanted to when snorkeling, etc. Jordan and I were thinking that it would be fun to travel with other families, so you could take turns doing things in groups...any takers? Overall it was a great vacation, Clara is seriously the happiest baby ever and anywhere we would go everyone would comment how cute she is and that she is such a happy baby. She seriously will stare someone down until they will smile at her, she is so funny and we love her to pieces!!
