Maui: Day 3

Day 3 - We got up early again (not forced - no alarms allowed on vacation), headed to our spot on the beach. We kept laughing at how we are such creatures of habit. We find something we like and we want it again and again :)

Early in the am - there were very few people out. It was nice, quiet and peaceful. 
 




Tripp would leave the room as soon as he was ready to go down to the beach and I'd follow about 30 minutes later. He's already laying on the chair in the pic below.




We loved our spot - it was on the corner so not a ton of foot traffic in front of us and it had a great view of the rocks, palm trees and water.


We ate this delicious acai smoothie bowl on the beach for breakfast. If we wanted breakfast on the trip, we went to the cafe on the hotel grounds. It had smoothies, pastries, cereal, etc. 







After we had been sitting a while, we would get up and walk down the beach for exercise ;) 


This view was looking to the left of the opposite end of the beach where we sat. 







I love him.


We were beach people in Hawaii - which is total opposite of what we typically are on vacation. We usually love to look at the beach, but not sit by it or get in it. Here, we loved the beach because it wasn't hot. At the pool, there wasn't as much of a breeze so you had to get in and out of the water often. At the beach, there was a fabulous breeze, comfy chair and umbrella whenever we wanted to put it up.



I read this book and LOVED it.


And because we are creatures of habit, here we are again at our bench. This time, we had some neighbors - cute old couple.


Creepin' on our future - we hope and pray.







As we were walking back to the room, we saw the nightly torch lighting man run by. He lights all of the torches on the hotel grounds and blows into a seashell at certain stops. The kids chase him around the entire time.
 


Beautiful at night too :)


We ordered room service and watched the Bachelor in our hotel room - it was perfection!
