Eat, Drink and Be Maui

We swam in the pool and relaxed in the hot tub at our condo complex in Kihai

We walked beach after beach

Snorkeled and saw beautiful fish, stunning coral, but the best was huge turtles.  One was in front of us and we almost tripped over him!  

After all that beach time we were hungry and found great fish tacos as well as acai bowls.

Who would have thought you'd be in Hawaii for your 40th?! So cool! If you could go back and talk to your young New Mexican teenage self, I wonder what you'd tell her. Time flies and DO marry that Tom Herway fella!
