We already miss it...

We are back from Maui!! I think we were all sad to leave. I asked Isabella what we were going to do on the plane ride home and she said, "I know Mom, we can just stay in Hawaii!" Chris and I ranked this as our best trip yet. It was so much fun to see Isabella make new friends, to watch Vincent play in the water, to relax together and to spend time with my Parents. I was truly spoiled by my Husband!! We spent 4 days on the Wailea side of the Island. Went to a Luau, our favorite Mama's Fish House on my birthday, a Plantation Tour, Shopping, let Isabella play a lot in the kids pool, and Chris and Popi snorkeled. They have such a beautiful ocean side path there in Wailea that I took advantage of the time change and went on a few early morning walks with Vincent. We then switched over to Kapalua to our favorite place, The Ritz Carlton. We stayed there two times before they did renovations and it was already our favorite, but now we probably won't be staying anywhere else. Chris got us the Club Level so we had breakfast, snacks/lunch, mid day ice tea and scones, appetizers and drinks the whole time we were there. They also had a candy/snack station and an espresso/cappuccino station set up at all times. It was so perfect! (So perfect that I have been looking up where the other Ritz's are that we can stay ... LOL!). Anyhow, they have added another pool and also a kids pool and playground. The rooms are gorgeous with hardwood floors, lounges, hd plasma TVs, etc (we have been wanting to redo our bathroom and now we know how). We had 2 days with Grammy and Popi at this hotel and then 4 more days after they left. Chris took me to the Spa at the hotel where we got a couples massage! It was the first time for the both of us and we really enjoyed being pampered! We spent time after my parents left just hanging out at the pool and beach and of course eating. Oh and Bubby was really good on the plane rides! Thanks to Chris for a wonderful trip and to Mom and Dad for coming to share this fun vacation and time with us! Until next time Maui....
