Maui: Day One

 Our first two days we spent at the beach, and went to the Maui Ocean Center (Aquarium) shown below
 The beach views here are amazing, as you can usually see at least one of the other islands from the beach. In the picture below you can see the island of Molokai.


 Ocean center was the best aquarium I have ever been to.
 Afterwards we got chocolate sundaes. YUMMY!
 and enjoyed a beautiful sunset :)
 lovin the Daddy time
 little cutie patootie
 jellyfish

 huge tank with lots of sharks
 (jaws theme playing) girls were scared at first, then loved it
 the coral in Maui is so beautiful
 hanging out on a pretend turtle
 yup, that's a sting ray
 haha they were so worried about the see through windows on the floor
 love this picture. Josh and the Stingray.
 Oooooooh, entering the water tunnel
Of course we played at the beach, we were in Maui! Everyday was beach day!
 sigh....I miss it.....




 We have had a Hawaiian sign for Kylee for a long time, and in Maui we finally found the type of artist we were looking for so we had Lexi's made
 At the Ocean Center the girls got to watch a scuba diver feed fish
 We had a picnic by the beach
 looking at shrimp and crab, the tanks have magnifying glasses but you did not really need them
 our favorite part of the ocean center, the huge octupus

I'm trying to convince Josh to go back to Maui for a four day weekend....we'll see

Guam/California Trip

 On my last trip to Guam I was able to bring the underwater camera and get some great shots of snorkeling in Guam. There is a reef surrounding all of Guam so the water is crystal clear as far as you can see (i went in just above my head, still crystal clear) and pretty safe
 it really was stunning to me how far you could see and how clear it was


 my hotel room is not far from where I'm standing, so this is almost the view from my room...just a little higher up

About a month ago I went to California for my job. I was able to get a little bit of downtime to go to Downtown Disney and window shop
 love the rainforest cafe, and its so pretty :)
 gotta shop while in Downtown Disney
 I love these minnie mouse cake pops. The desserts here were amazing!

 cool lego stuff, anyone?
 Kylee couldnt believe this was made out of legos
 I really, really, really wanted this princess Jasmine outfit
 And of course, the nightly fireworks
