Spring Break 2012

For spring break we spent 5 glorious days in sunny Maui, Hawaii.  We bought a travel package through Costco back in October so that we would have something to look forward to during the long, wet & rainy winter.  We crammed a lot of stuff into those short 5 days including swimming at the beach & pool, kayaking, snorkeling, eating, and shopping.  Even with multiple layers of SPF 50 sunscreen our ghostly white Washington skin still burned.  We used up almost a whole bottle of aloe vera.   The weather turned out much better than we had anticipated with only one day of overcast skies.  It was so much fun.  I cannot wait to go back!

Getting through airport security.

At SeaTac airport.  We flew out at 10:20am and arrived in Maui at 1:25pm local time.  Total flight time of 6 hours.

We spent most of the flight fighting over who got to play with the new iPad3.

Shuttle to the car rental place.

Our car rental...they upgraded us from a compact, which was great, because we needed the trunk space for all the snorkeling gear & boogie boards.

Driving into the hotel.




I took so many pictures of all the beautiful flowers.

Checking in.


Beautiful view from our room.


The grounds were so beautiful.

That first afternoon we headed to the beach as soon as we got checked in.

Corey looks cold in this picture.  The water was warm, but did take some getting used to at first.





After the beach we headed to the pool.


Was so happy to have my new camera with me.  The waterproof feature worked great.
