Jared had a pain conference in Maui so we went early and turned it into an anniversary trip! I've never been to Hawaii. It is AMAZING. Everything is gorgeous. If someone would bring my kids to me I could just stay! When we got here, we stayed in a town called Kaanapali for 3 nights. It was great! Our hotel (Sheraton) was listed as one of the best places to snorkel. When you swim out just a little bit there are these HUGE sea turtles that come to eat. It's a little freaky the first time you see them. You can actually rub their shell. On Tuesday, we moved over to a town called Wailea. We are staying at the Grand Wailea. WOW. It's absolutely amazing. I haven't taken very many pictures here yet so I'll put those up soon.
This is flying in.
It's so festive. Even the bathroom signs are fun :)!
This picture is from my phone. I didn't get very many pictures of our resort. 
Jared jumped off of the Black Rock. I took the camera down but forgot to put the battery back in :(.

Jared, Joe, and Julia (his partner and HILARIOUS girlfriend) went up to watch the sunrise on Haleakala (a volcano) and rode bikes back down. I opted to skip this :). I'm scared of heights and read a scary review about the bike ride. They had a great time!! I still do not regret not going :). 
We drove (halfway) to Hana on Tuesday. We planned to go the whole way but got a late start. I'm glad we did it the way that we did because we were able to stop and see some neat things. You can buy a coconut and they chop the top off and stick a straw in it. Very cool! That's Julia.
We stopped at a place called Garden of Eden. It was gorgeous!! I've never seen more amazing plants, flowers, and trees. 
This rock was in Jurassic Park!
We stopped and watched surfers at Hookipa Beach. There were little kids out there that were amazing! I guess you learn to surf here as soon as you swim. We stopped and ate in a town called Paia. It was very cool! Everything that we have eaten so far has been amazing!! I'll be wearing dresses for awhile until I can get back to the gym :).

Gorgeous pics! I can't wait to see more. I remember some of the stuff you are talking about, and it makes me want to go back so bad. It looks like you are having a great time!
I got to go to Vegas on a conference last fall with Ed. This year, I'm hoping to get to go to Boston with him. I can't wait for something like Hawaii though! I'm already LOVING the ability to tag along!
