Holoholo in Hawai'i

Earlier this month I went back home to Maui to visit my parents and to just GET AWAY from it all and get some well deserved R & R. I brought Seijah and Kal with me and left the other 3 kiddies with Ronnie and Dave. Thanks you two for lending your child care services! Much appreciated! After a terrible 7 hour flight because we were flying against the wind, we arrived in Maui which by the way was PERFECT. I'm talking 75 degree weather pretty much the whole time we were there until the last day when it jumped to 84. I visited with my mom whom I hadn't seen since last April! We ate fish (EVERY day), puaka tunu, ota, oh man...the list goes on. We ate fish so much, Kal woke up in the morning asking for it. I took the kids to Homemade Bakery in the mornings to enjoy fresh hot malasadas. Of course I had to hit up Jack in the Box for some sourdough jacks and some breakfast. Anytime we go to Hawaii, 80% of the time is spent eating! Wasn't able to eat at some restaurants I was planning on like Hanafuda's in Kihei which because of the economy closed down. Even the ONLY 7-11 in Kihei closed down. I took my running shoes with me just in case I had the running bug to run our old route on S. Kihei Road but my lazy 'okole basically posted up in front of the tv or slept if i wasn't eating. Mid week we went to visit my Dad and mom in Lana'i which you have ride 45 min. on a ferry to get to. HATED the ride, but worth it to see my dad and mom for a few days. All in all, enjoyed my paradise home but couldn't wait to come back to my 2nd home, Utah.
