Maui-licious

What would you do if you were moving to the UK in 10 days?  You go to Maui.

Our nephew Jake (on the right) turned 14 on March 16th.  Greyson (2nd from the left) turned 6 on March 21st and Mike’s dad Lee (see below on the left) turned 60 TODAY!  I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a handful of March birthdays than with a trip to Maui.  Mike’s parents made it their mission to ensure our time was amazing and “thank you” just isn’t enough.  It was perfect (and so was the weather).

Mike and I spent our mornings with a cup of coffee on the lanai watching the humpback whales and their babies play. I’ve never seen so many whales for such long periods of time. At 5am in the morning with the Pacific like glass it was by far the best part of each day.  Greyson chose to go whale watching on his actual birthday so he’s now an expert on all things humpback (and Orca, of course) and informed me that when they pop their heads out of the water it’s called a “Spy Hop”.

Mike: “We can heat up the pizza from dinner”
G: “You stole all of it?”

Have you ever seen sea turtles mating? It lasted more than 2 hours. They put on quite a show…

We obviously had a wonderful time. Carmen and Bria look more and more alike every day, Uncle Brian was Graham’s hero but best of all our families got to spend hours and hours laughing and relaxing.  Happy Birthday to the Guenther/Letarski boys. Happy Birthday indeed. Aloha, Maui. Until next time…
