Shakas//Swimming//Sea Fishing//Sunsets

Too many times we've gone on vacations with hopes of rewinding and relaxing, only to return home more tired than when we left. The words "I need a vacation from our vacation," have been uttered all too often.

Thankfully, this vacation was nothing like that. Our days were, for the most part, sleepy and slow. Island time is a real thing, and we were more than happy to oblige in that way of life. Sure, we planned a few activities, but we mostly just enjoyed our time together in a place so beautiful it almost didn't seem real. 

The first thing we did when we made ourselves at home on Maui was teach Marcus the shaka. 

Night one and Grandpa had Marcus perfecting the hand sign that is synonymous with Hawaii.

Most days and nights we could be found lounging lazily by the pool, or on the beach. More often than not you could find a fruity drink in my hand while I watched Marcus play his little heart out.

Even when we weren't in the water we were dreaming about it…

If we were lucky we'd spend an evening soaking in a tub, pretending we were in the pool/ocean.

One morning we made an attempt to go deep sea fishing.

Sadly, the only thing we caught were stunning views and our own bait.

Secretly I was kind of glad we didn't catch any big fish. Deep sea fishing is A LOT different than fishing on a lake. The whole process sounded really scary/hard. So, I was totally fine with just cruising around the island for a few hours.

And each night we made sure to capture the stunning sunsets.

To keep from getting too wordy, and too picture heavy there's more Maui to come.
