| We stayed at the Grand Wailea resort. There have pretty extensive and elaborate grounds there with quite a bit or art.
|
|
We ate breakfast on our balcony.

There's a great walkway along the shore. We spent time checking out the tidepools.

|
| One day we drove up to Haleakala National Park. Zero to 10,000 feet in just a couple of hours!
|
|
The GPS agrees.

We also went to the 'Iao Valley State Park. This is the 'Iao Needle, "The phallic stone of Kanaloa, Hawaiin god of the ocean."

|
| Three out of four 'aint so bad ...
|
|
While we were there, it started to rain very hard. The kids liked it though. Warm hawaiian rain beats cold Seattle rain any day.

|
|
|
| At a mall, we found this huge vending machine selling some kind of skin product.
|
|
Later that night we walked by and in the Four Seasons hotel where we stayed 6 years ago when Dinarte Morais brought us there for his 40th birthday. It was raining off and on.

| One day we enjoyed the brunch at the Grand. Peter loves strawberries.
|
|
Kenny and Eric visited the Cane Sugar Museum.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| There is an old but very active sugar will there.
|
|
The old equipment used to collect the cane for the mill.

| A traditional Portuguese Oven used to cook practically everything and, as I was told, even used to heat houses!
|
|
Kenny Soup!

Looking into the sun never yields good pictures.
|

|
|
|
|
|
| The Grand's beach is fantastic.
|
|
We checked out the Kealia Pond Boardwalk.
|

|
| Where we met Dr. Leisure (George Harker). A very friendly fellow. He seems to be an expert on nude beaches.
|
|
We spent an afternoon in Lahaina. The banyan tree near the court house is the largest on Maui. It was planted in 1873.
