Maui

After being so busy with Prop 8, Stake Conference and work John was really looking forward to a vacation - so last week we headed off to Maui.

Our hotel was gorgeous! We were on the Wailea coast.

John was in a golf tournament - so every morning I got out and walked this fantastic walking path that went along the beach and the resorts for an hour or two every morning.

These are the girls - we shopped and spent time at the pool most days -

John golfed 6 days in all with these guys . . .

they placed 7th in the tournament with 30 teams competing. Not bad.

Check out John's golf tan ^


Wednesday was a golf free day and I wanted John to take me to this zip line I had heard about near Haleakala. The lines started off pretty easy . . . There's John in the middle.

I actually thought this suspension bridge was the scariest thing. It made my stomach queasy. (I was thinking of you Sheli while I was on it - you'd have hated it!)

They saved the best for last - a 780 ft line with a 160 ft drop - you just step off and you are gone - and pick up to speeds of 40-50 mph.
John is that little speck of white half way across the zip line. What a blast!!!!! I loved it! The weather was PERFECT all the time, we had lots of nice dinners, and walks on the beach at sunset . . . .



Ahhhh - life in Paradise.

When do we go back?

The question isn't when do you guys go back...the question is when do you go back and TAKE US WITH YOU!? Looks awesome! Randy and I are jealous! Randy is especially jealous of Dad's golf tan.
