Gavin in front of the condos --Honua Kai
Kipp, Gavin and Adam enjoy some boogie boarding on our first day
We took a bus up to the Haleakala visitors center at 2 am to watch the sunrise at the volcano and then rode bikes back down the mountain. It was really cold and windy but warmed right up after the sun came up. It really was a spiritual experience to be up above the clouds and watch the pre-dawn colors and the sunrise. The lady chanting her love for creation and the sun in Hawaiian probably didn't hurt the experience either.

Hanging out with Cami
Getting ready for the bike ride. I was a little speed demon down that mountain.
My cute husband!
Me, Cami and Adam--my patient friends that didn't mind sitting on the edge of the road resting while they waited for me to finally make it down the mountain.
Pacific Whale Foundation snorkel and wild dolphin adventure out to Lanai. Holding Zack gave me my 'Mia fix' for the day.
Cheeseburgers in Paradise!
(I think I already mentioned I gained 7 lbs.)
Out to dinner with Chad and Jill at Kimo's in Lahaina
Adam rented a truck and was excited to find out it was legal in Hawaii to ride in the back of a truck. So here we are making Adam happy by riding in the back of his truck to go get Hawaiian Ice.

A week in Maui without kids, after a wicked trip to San Francisco, can I borrow you life for a couple of weeks :)
Looks like you guys had a great time. It is so important to have time alone with your honey--focusing on being a couple every once and awhile makes you better parents. It's rejuvenating.
love all the photos, so beautiful!
oh that looks so fun and warm! I am so jealous of all your trips! Gald you enjoyed it, you deserve a break every now and then (or every now and now!)
What a beautiful vacation! I hope we can go there some day, too. Great photos. I bet the bike ride was invigorating!
first of all I just have to say how sorry I am that you guys hardly every get to go anywhere! Just kidding, I am way jealous though. That looks like so much fun. Did that guy really think Gavin was Tobey Mcguire? Too funny.
Looks like your friends got baptized on the beach! :)
Glad you had a good time!
You certainly do know how to enjoy a vacation. I loved all of the pictures. My favorite though..the one of the two of you walking on the beach. Definitely one to have enlarged.
Beautiful photos!! And that gorgeous sunset, very nice!!
Yes I would like to have your life for one week!:) very jealous of the trips you and Gavin get to take alone together!! :)
I love the picture of you and Gavin walking on the beach!
That picture of you guys holding hands together is so sweet! Love it!
