Maui

We went to Maui over Memorial Day weekend to celebrate Sean's birthday and have some fun! It didn't hurt that Maui is the only Hawaiian island that has a Krispy Kreme shop. The Burke's are BIG KK fans. So, as soon as we landed, our first stop was to get some hot and fresh donuts. Not the healthiest dinner, but definitely delicious.


Maui is gorgeous. No doubt about it. We drove along the Road to Hana, an all day drive along a narrow, twisty road with breathtaking views. We stopped to hike around some amazing waterfalls and swim at a black sand beach.




Maui has an awesome aquarium. The kids loved seeing the sharks, sea turtles, and manta rays. There is a huge glass tunnel that you can walk through while watching the animals swim around and above you. Very cool.

Jaxon and I went parasailing together. What a great mother-son bonding experience!! It was beautiful up there.


A beautiful sunset at the beach was the perfect way to end our vacation.

Wow, parasailing, look at you! How fun! I want to do that! I'm so glad to find out that you guys have been around to lots of other islands, 'cause Adam and I want to do it too, but need to get the low-down. Next time I see you I want an education in "island hopping!"
