Maui September 2007

Justin and I went to Maui for our 5th anniversary and we had an incredible time!

While we were in Maui we attended the "Taste of Lahaina" annual festival; went snorkeling in Molokini Crater; snorkeling with the sea turtles at Turtle Town; hiked Waihe'e Ridge; drove around the upper side of the island where we were able to see many villages like the tiny, but beautiful village of Kahakuloa; hiked the inside of the Haleakala volcano; visited Iao Valley and Kepaniwai Park; drove the Road to Hana and saw many waterfalls; visited Waianapanapa State Park's amazing black sand beach and sea arch; visited the Seven Pools; drove up the backroads into Maui's mountains to Polipoli State Park; got beat up by the waves at Makena Beach; and swam at several different beaches including our own private beach (it sure felt like it was our own private beach).

Lake Powell

Hard to believe, but this was our first trip to Lake Powell.

These pictures were taken on August 3, 2007. We are on top of the houseboat as we are docked in Iceberg Canyon. It is so beautiful there.

And here is the whole clan. We had a great time swimming, tubing, riding the wave runner, playing games - especially the iPod game, doing "Happy/Sad" each night, and just spending time with family. To our gracious hosts: Thank you for inviting us and letting us share this time with you.

My boys

Those are my boys! This picture was taken the day after we got Hiro.

Mighty Hunter

Justin got to go deer hunting for the first time in September 2005. With Caleb as his guide, Justin was able to bag this "trophy" buck within the first few hours.

Pemaquid Point

From Portland we drove up to Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Forest where we spent the rest of our time in Maine. On the way to Acadia we stopped at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse near Bristol, Maine. It was also near here that we stopped for lunch and I had the best clam chowder in my life!

The shore line at Pemaquid Point is spectacular! This photo was taken from the shore line up towards the lighthouse.

Sandy Beach

This is where we finally able to put our feet into the Atlantic Ocean, sort of. It was really much too cold to get in, but we walked along the small beach for a while. And we were able to snap this nice photo.

Hawaiian Honeymoon

For our honeymoon Justin took me to the island of Oahu in Hawaii. We spent half the week in Waikiki and half the week at Turtle Bay in North Shore. This picture was taken on the Halona shore line. While in Hawaii we enjoyed snorkeling at Hanama Bay, hiking Diamond Head Crater, visiting Pearl Harbor, driving to the Pali lookout, pineapple icecream at the Dole plantation, a beautiful sunset at Sunset Beach, luaus and activities at the Polynesian Cultural Center, swimming under Waimea falls, and many other beautiful Hawaiian sights. Aloha!
