Maui

So I love Maui! This was my third time to Maui! There is just something about that island that draws me back! It was such a fun trip. Deon and Amy and I went for a week (this was my happy graduation gift to myself). We had some way good times! Here are a few of my favorite pics-- I have more loaded on facebook if you want to check them out! If you don't have facebook-- I can email you a link to see the ones on there.

We went Kayaking by Makenna Landing! It was so great! Our tour guide "Scuba Steve" was awesome! He took us to some really cool snorkeling spots!
Amy & Steve- He brought up an octopus and put it on our arms!
We swam with Sea Turtles! This is my most favorite thing! We were so close to them- I loved it!
Steve even brought up a few sea urchins for us to hold and look at!
One night we went crab hunting on the beach! We were so excited when we found some really little ones (about the size of a quarter). Deon was the brave one to pick them up! Then on the way back to the hotel-- we found bigger ones, it was awesome! I even held one!

Sunsets are the best!

Hiking to the waterfalls right above the seven sacred pools- we also hiked through a bamboo forest.
We got a killer deal on an upgrade to a jeep! Of course we didn't pass that one up!
We went to a Luau at our hotel-- they even had fire dancers-- it was cool! We got fake (paint) tatoos. Deon was great at making crazy faces throughout the whole trip!
Big beach! Deon and Amy!
Me chillin with my hawaii juice on big beach!
Bayan tree in Lahina
Snorkeling at the beach right by our hotel. Which we stayed at the Waliea Marriott resort and spa! It was amazing! :)
