Fun in Maui

On a somewhat last minute decision we took our first solo vacation. Flying to Maui for a week was a great pre-olympic getaway.

It was just a short walk from the condo we rented to a fantastic beach. Relaxing on the beach was not part of Griffin's program. He did let us chillout for a moment and watch the sun set.

We went for a hike up to Iao Valley State Park. It was actually just a short walk up some stairs to a lookout. This photo is about as close as you can get. We went off the beaten track until Griffin started freaking out. I guess he takes after his dad.

We only need a couple surf boards on our heads to recreate the Endless Summer poster.

We drove to the top of Haleakala to check out the crater. It was a beautiful clear day. After hiking around for a while we drove back down the winding road to the warmth below. Winding is a slight understatement. As we got near our next destination, a small goat dairy farm, Griffin felt all the s-curves as he worked up his breakfast in the backseat.

We spent a few hours wandering through Maui Ocean Center. I think Griffin like watching the birds at the concession stand the best.
