Maui February 28th to March 7th

     A week in Maui.  We decided to make this a relaxing trip, not a running trip.  We arrived late Saturday night.  Bright and early Sunday morning we went to church.  I am glad our church is a world wide church.  We always feel welcome attending any where in the world.  After church, we took a drive around the scenic north side and found the delicious banana bread,  This is always something we have to do every time we come.

     This trip ended up being rainy and cool.  We did have 2 sunny days and spent that time on the beach reading our books.  Clinton did take a dip in the ocean.
     On one of the rainy days, we went to the aquarium.  We walked through the shark tunnel and they actually swam right over top of us.  Pretty cool.

     This was the highlight of the trip.  This giant turtle came up on the beach to sun himself.  I got lucky to have a picture with him.

This trip turned out to be all about the food.  We had a fun meal at the Hibachi Grill in Lahainia.

     We splurged this night at Mama's Fish House.  The food was absolutely fabulous!  The lobster bisque was to die for.  For desert I had a very delicious creme brulee.  Most expensive meal I have ever had, but worth it!

Forest, Forest Gump!

Bubba Gump's is always a favorite!

     We found this delicious restaurant on our last trip.  It was so good that Clinton booked 2 reservations for us this time.  I am so glad he did, it was worth it.

   

     During our relaxing time, I read this book.  It was very good and uplifting for talking about a heavy subject.

     These pies speak for themselves.  (Banana Cream and Coconut Cream) All I can say is YUMMY!  Since Clinton has the book Maui Revealed on his phone, we knew to go to this fun little restaurant and try out the pies.  The name is Leoda's Pie Shop.

Most mornings we walked along the beach.  I just love when the waves come in and swirl around my ankles.

We tried twice to see The Eye of the Needle.  Luckily the clouds lifted and it wasn't raining the 2nd time so we could hike up the trail. This was a beautiful spot.  It is always nice to go to Maui and spend some quality time with my sweetheart!
