Back in November, Chris' parents oh-so-awesomely took us on a trip to Maui (Kihei)for a week. I had never been and neither had Anya, so it was pretty exciting for us. We had a relaxing and fantastic time. Some highlights: daily swimming/playing at the beach across the street and the pool at the condo complex, checking out Haleakala, Iao Valley, surfers at Honolua Bay, and other spots on the island, doing a helicopter tour of the island with Chris, ziplining with Chris, having enough relaxation time to read 2-1/2 books (!!), lots of Mai Tais and Pina Coladas, body surfing poorly and getting knocked around by the waves, and of course hanging out with Lynn and Steve.
One other neat highlight was that we got to have a playdate with one of Anya's new school friends, Ella J. Her mom and I got to talking one day and found that we were going to be in Maui at the same time - overlapping by 2 days. So we met up at their lovely resort and played for an afternoon. It was great getting to know Julie and Todd and Anya and Ella had a good time playing.
Thank you, Lynn and Steve, for a wonderful, special experience!
