Maui

Alright Alright! Driel's already called me asking why I haven't posted pictures even though we've been home for two days. Apparently her life is so dull with only two young girls to take care of that she needs to live vicariously through us. The answer, Driel, is that I haven't blogged because we've basically spent the last two days sleeping. We had a red eye flight out of Maui into LAX, so we didn't sleep at all Friday night. That meant we slept all day Saturday, which totally screwed up our sleeping schedules, so we slept a ton Sunday. And then Lorein and Carter didn't wake up until 11:30 today! (to be fair, I didn't get up until 10:15). Anyway, here you go Driel.

The room at the resort was super nice. So nice in fact that Westin called them "Villas". I always imagined villas as being larger, but whatever. Lorein just kept saying over and over again "This place is so nice." Here's the view from our balcony:

We were a little worried about Carter because he hasn't been a big fan of the pool or beach in CA, and that's pretty much all we do in HI. Well, we needn't have felt perturbed because Carter absolutely loved it. From the moment we entered the hotel and he saw the koi pond, he was happy. Here's a quick slide show of Carter's favorite activities from Maui:

Oh my goodness . . . the hotel room had two kleenex boxes! Woo Hoo!!


The pool is always better when you can hang out with a hot babe.

He really enjoyed the aquarium. It's too bad Lorein's allergic to everything because Carter really loves animals. He spent a lot of time just pointing at the fish in the koi pond.


He really got into the beach. He loved playing in the sand and would even run straight into the water. He would laugh and laugh when we would pick him up over a wave.

All that playing wore him out though. Fortunately, he was able to repose on Westin's "Heavenly Bed". (Westin extensively advertises its heavenly bed, and, let me tell you, it was niiiiiiice.)

If only I could've slept on the plane like that.
