Maui Time

We enjoyed some Maui time recently!

We had something significant to celebrate so my sister and I headed to Maui to meet my mom and her friend. This is just after we arrived. Here are some of the highlights! Starting with the poke….

OMG I could eat poke every. single. day. And it seems like it’s just amazing and plentiful in Hawaii. We frequently went to Miso Phat on our visit. Poke topped rolls, poke alone…you name it we had it! It’s BYOB which was weird at first and then we were really digging bringing some big beers and sake in there. Super friendly staff too and amazing mango.

Like any good getaway we were really focused on eating and drinking 🙂 Fleetwoods on Front Street had good cocktails and a world-class view!

And in Lahina we had to take some selfies under the Banyan Trees, of course.

And no shortage of fresh fruit….

We were snorkeling near some rocks and were suprised but these huge turtles suddenly everywhere! It was truly stunning and more than a little unnerving to see such huge creatures around you. We had a funny twist of events on our last night and had to grab a hotel near the airport (about 45 mins from where we were staying near Lahina)…we didn’t have alot of time to plan or look for a hotel so we booked the first one we called that had availability and made the best of it….found the hotel laundry room, got a bottle of screw-top pinot grigio and ate poke! Yes, yes we did.

We enjoyed a fun crisp family day on the coast with the fam and the dogs. Davis enjoyed some swing time with daddy…Cha Cha enjoyed it less so 🙂 I am so very appreciative for my family and for every moment we share. This time of year especially, take the time to acknowledge those you love and be so thankful they are in your life.

Cozy casual style~ wild hair and all! My jean are just a comfy old pair, J.Crew flip flops, Forever 21 thin thermal long sleeve shirt and handmade wool Zara vest and Ray-Ban aviators with my new favorite Maya Brenner necklace (blog post featuring it here). I’ve been enjoying going heavy layering my rings too. My sister is in toothpick J.Crew jeans in blacksmith wash, motorcycle Uggs (similar here), J.Crew sweater and Ray-Bans.
