Ryan's employer met a huge milestone last year and decided to take the whole company to Hawaii for their kick off meeting and awards ceremony. Rod and Sue graciously said they would take the kids, so Ryan and I could spend our first vacation without them... and it was absolutely wonderful! Especially since it was also our eighth year anniversary.
We stayed at the Grand Wailea on Maui and were beyond pampered. The Grand Wailea is one of the most amazing hotels we have ever stayed in. Seriously, google it, but luckily the company paid for our stay because it definitely wouldn't be in our budget.
We spent our time laying on the beach, reading books, eating, shopping... I guess that is what I did because Ryan still had to work a few days that we were there. We did go scuba diving together and saw these amazing turtles hanging out on the coral. They didn't even seem to mind that we were a few feet away from them. We also did a cliff dive which was very crazy since we were down about sixty feet and we couldn't even see the bottom. Another day we took a canoe ride and saw a manta ray after jumping in the water with our snorkel gear. We even got in some whale watching as we traveled to our snorkel and scuba locations. We love the water!
The company had a Hawaiian Luau and a great dinner and rewards ceremony. I'm so proud of Ryan and all he does for our family!
We had a few non working days at the end of our trip and headed out on the road to Hana and to the pools of Oheo. It was truly beautiful, but the curvy roads almost got the better of me. On the way there we stopped at many waterfalls and went on a few hikes. The hike up to this waterfall had an amazing bamboo forest. Maui is absolutely beautiful, but next time I think I should take a boat or helicopter to enjoy certain areas :)
We had the most amazing time in Maui! Thank you so much, Rod and Sue!!!
Happy Anniversary Baby!
