The Petersen’s in Maui

We finally made some time to go through our images from our family trip to Maui.  It was great to relive the memories of this awesome trip!  We stayed at the Bay Villas in Kapalua.  We had access to the facilities at the Ritz Carlton!  The Kiddie Pool was amazing!  Bijou loved that the servers gave complimentary pineapple at the "fancy pool". Bijou discovered that she loves pineapple in Hawaii.  She preferred the pool over the beach, she was afraid of the big waves.  Beau and I took sunrise runs every morning.  There was a fabulous coastal trail on the Kapalua property.  I saw whales every morning on this run... Amazing!  One day, there were two whales fighting with their tails just off shore!  Hawaiian time was perfect for us with the 4 hour time difference, this made it perfect for waking up before the sunrise.  Every morning after our exhilarating run, we would either brewed up some Kona coffee or I would treat myself to a delicious brown sugar latte at the Honolua Store.  The breakfast there was so cheap!  It was a great place to grab breakfast and coffee.  We found a little secret beach one day, just South of Napili.  We had the beach to ourselves and I never wanted to leave!  Our friends were staying in Kahana.  We watched the Saints lose a game and we watched the sunset from their condo.  We enjoyed dinner at Kimos with them in Lahaina.  We enjoyed Lahaina most evenings.  The shopping was fun and there were many art galleries to enjoy.  Bode was just hanging out on the huge banyan tree in Lahaina.  Bijou discovered her love of chocolate gelato and her love of hula dancing while in Maui... now she says she will live here someday. ~Bethany
