Beach Morning
On the third day we woke up and enjoyed swiming in the ocean. Although I could have stayed in the water all day long, we mostly stuck with mornings and evenings to be safe with the sun. I took a bunch of pictures that morning of the hotel so that we could look back and remember.
Scott and I ate breakfast by the pool and the girls ate a bit later at the Royal Scoop. (ice cream all day long and late into the evening, quick breakfasts/coffee/tea/breads in the morning)
The grounds were certainly beautiful. It was a lovely resort, small, and never with chaos or crowded. There weren't rows and rows and rows of chairs filled to the brim. I'm not sure how they did it, but it was so peaceful and relaxing.
It was right on the ocean with the most beautiful beach that we loved so much!
That morning while we were relaxing on the patio Anna, Abigail and I wrote in our journals. We decided to start one before we left to keep track of all of the fun we would be having and little momentos along the way.
Artisan and Farmer's Market ~ South Maui Gardens in Kihei, Maui We left mid morning and headed south on Maui to an artisan and farmers market that we had researched ahead of time. The setting really surprised me - all lush and green, tropical and authenic Hawaiian. We tried to find places where local of Maui would be and to do less tourist things. This maket was certainly one of them and we loved our afernoon there! We shopped and had the most delicious lunches. Here is a peek inside.
Oh the fish and the papaya salad!
We found this little shaded garden area for lunch which was so pretty!
What a fun morning/afternoon!
Makawao
This adorable town in Maui is known as upcountry. It was charming and filled with shops. We loved it so much!
