Maui DAY TWO (or half of day two)

Thanks so much for the sweet comments about day one! :) Day two was long because we had the luau that night and I'm way too sleepy to upload our fun luau photos and videos (yes, videos. overboard=us). I wouldn't do em justice right now... (think "this is a Hawaiian dancer. He is good. Goodnight, everyone." haha!) So, I'm stopping at the midway point of our day! 

Day two was seriously two things: (1) beach and (2) luau. Not a bad agenda for the day in my opinion.... haha! :) Sooo... 

We got up and decided to head into Kihei for breakfast (like 5 minutes away). On that note, towns are seriously like miles from each other. One minute, you're in Kihei, the next Wailea, the next.. Anyway, you get it. It took us a minute to understand that. We thought the names were just new streets, not new TOWNS. Anyway, comedy. Okay, so breakfast was fabulous! We read about the french toast, so like true fat kids on vacation, we each got a full breakfast...and then shared an order of french toast. (I mean we HAD to try it. The guidebook said so!). We weren't disappointed and wanted to make it back for another breakfast, but we didn't get the chance to. 

Anyhoo, we walked over to Kalama Park (across the street) and watched some people taking surfing lessons and some school children playing outside with their teachers. (How cool would THAT be? Recess at the BEACH!) Self portrait on our walk...

Got back to the hotel and got our first real daytime glance at our beach through the open air lobby. How.gorgeous. I mean, seriously, you can see straight to the ocean! *wistful sigh* 

 Drawn by the lure of sand in between our toes and sun on our skin, we decided right then and there to toss on the suits and see what our hotel beach had to offer! We weren't disappointed. :)

Didn't take us long to get used to this... ;)

Also didn't take me long to want to take a picture (duh, have we met?!). Anyway, we went for self timed. Eric thought it would take him 5 seconds to reach me, turn around and smile. Um... I'll let you see how that worked out. (The kid makes it even better...hahaha!)

10 second timer=much better idea :) (even though we have no feet. You make sacrifices when it's a self timed photo. Whatever).

Our hotel gave out snorkels, fins, masks, boogie boards, etc to its guests... So of COURSE we needed all of those things. (I looked ridiculous carrying my pile of stuff back to my relaxing spot on the beach...haha). Anyway, I immediately decided I was born to boogie board. I'll let you see how that worked out for me. (*I tried to make the collages bigger, but they kept cutting off on the edges. Boo. You can double click to make them larger).

Our hotel beach behind me! (The building behind me is actually condos to the side of our hotel). And I might start to look a little ridic in my hat, but the ONE day I didn't wear it, my scalp got roasted. Sheesh. Anyway, fedora or bust!

Clouds rolled in a few afternoons around 2:30 in Wailea, but usually cleared up by dinner time. (We didn't have any rain until the last day). By the time the clouds rolled in, we'd already been at the beach like 3 or 4 hours, so we were good to bail and head for our next adventure. 

So, until our next adventure it is.. Next stop, luau! :) Mahalo!
