ALOHA!

We went to Maui for 8 days and had a fabulous time.  We spent 5 days at the Grand Wailea and 3 days in Kapalua at the Ritz Carlton.  The sun, sand, and water was perfection.  We vacationed with the Carrekers and Fusch's in Wailea and had a blast!  It was so fun for Bentley to wake up and have friends to play with all day.  Cohen, Bentley, and Eleanor loved playing together.  I can't tell you how many times we went around the lazy river.  Bentley wasn't a big fan of the waves or ocean but LOVED playing with his shovel, rake, and buckets in the sand.  And other than that we spent alot of time at the kiddy pool.  We ate a lot of good fish and the drink of choice was Lava Flows and Mai Tai's....Yummy!
Towards the end of the trip we headed to Kapalua to stay at the Ritz Carlton to celebrate our anniversary.  It was a different experience than our honeymoon, to say the least.  But, so much fun!  I forgot how fabulous that resort is.  It was a perfect way to celebrate five years!  

But the one thing everyone asks is "How did Bentley do on the 8 hour flight?"  You would think we were crazy to take a toddler on that flight but Bentley was a champ.  He slept the whole way...fell asleep at take off and woke up during landing.  I was a very proud mommy!

Wish I could post all our pictures.
Here is a glimpse of all our fun!
