Back from Maui

Mike and I got back from Maui early Sunday morning....exhausted. That overnight flight is a nightmare. BUT, well worth it. We had a great time lazing by the pool and beach, taking walks, drinking fun umbrella drinks (ok, that was me, Mike drank the local brew Big Swell), and eating wonderful local fish. It was great to spend a week with our good LA friends, and we can't wait to go back in another couple of years!

The kids had a great time hanging with Grandma and Grandpa Newman, and even got to play in the snow and make snowmen the week we were gone (can I tell you how glad I was to miss this week...snow....on Oct 10.....really??).  We can't thank them enough for watching the kids and giving us this opportunity to get away a bit. It was much needed!

Took a ton of pictures, below are some favorites. Enjoy!

Condo in Kaanapali (it was beautiful - we were the first people to stay in our condo room....all the appliances had their plastic covers on and instruction manuals attached!)
