We had the pleasure of taking our girls on our anniversary trip to Maui. Hawaii holds a special place in our heart. No other place like it. We have been to the "Big Island" and Oahu on previous trips. We were soon going to be marking Kauai off our list too.
I had researched a TON before going. I read 219 blogs to be exact, on what the best activities were to do and restaurants to eat at. Then, my husband and I coordinated what we wanted to do and pair it up with restaurants and activities in same location. So each day, was a different section of the island.
Our first day, we got in after lunch and went straight to the grocery store. Then we headed to our condo. Which they ended up having a nice little condo party that night.
The next morning, we found this awesome place for donuts called Dynamite Donuts.
We met the owner who let our daughter help her out.
Here’s our picks for the week! Some really good Poi donuts might I add!
After breakfast, we headed out in search for Black Sand Turtle Beach (around mile marker 14) which we thankfully found.
This sand is unbelievable and feels so smooth.
We told the girls it was time to say goodbye to this beach and move on to others on our list.
Which brings us to Baby Beach!
One of my favorite beaches on Maui because the sand is so soft and the water was calm and such a pretty blue.
Kids approved too. Especially since there were little crabs to chase.
Next was the Outlets of Maui. Apparently, December is the time to shop because they had a lot of 70-80% off sales.
Worked up an appetite so we stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe. We have a few picky eaters on our trip.
After lunch, we headed back in the car for our next beach destination. Which was Napili Bay.
I would tell you it was my kids favorite except I’m not sure if it was the beach or the boogie board a kid had that they played with. My girls actually liked each beach we went to for different reasons.
We packed up and headed for the Nakalete Blowhole. For some reason I thought it was going to be a park your car and take a quick picture. Nope, it’s a walk down a rocky path and take a picture moment. Pretty neat nonetheless.
The surrounding views once you get there.
Love this picture. Reminds me of a painting.
Stopped on the side of the road to get a picture of the scenery.
We had two things that didn’t work out this day. One being, after the Nakalete Blowhole we set off for Slaughter House Beach which we unfortunately didn’t find. We’re not sure if you have to hike down to it or if it’s right off the road or what. But we couldn’t get clear directions on where exactly it was at. Maybe the next visit! And the other being, there were so many recommendations on food trucks at Costco parking lot. One specifically being Geste Shrimp Truck. I LOVE shrimp so you can understand my disappointment when we didn’t find it. I’m not sure if the food trucks no longer show up there or what. But there wasn’t a single food truck in the parking lot. Maybe it was just that day? It happened to be a Tuesday.
Instead we went to our next on the list restaurant which was Da Kitchen. Delicious! We got the special of the day which was 3 different kinds of meat cooked in different spices.
