So I got to thinking....

Maybe my uploads and blog posts can be spread out.  Daily.  Maybe it's because today the sun in shining, it's Saturday morning, I feel like going on a long walk...because soon enough Chapter 16 girl will return from a prep class, and I must be ready to shoe shop for Promola. (Exact words: Mom, "like" can you seriously try to be "like" ready when I get home.....) HA!  I can walk you through our journey.  Each day.  Just going through each picture.  Each upload.  Each camera and phone is going to be quite the task.  I can already tell.  So....
How about I start with our first couple of days....and we'll move along like that.

Our flight left on a Sunday morning.  We had a driver pick us up, as it seems easier these days, all around.
We arrived in Kahalui Airport, peeking out any window we could.  Trying to find blue water, and green surroundings.  Just anything Maui.  Anything.
Our first stop was car rental.
I was cracking up with Bill's upgrade choice, I knew this car would soon be whirled off for our adventure...
Next up...  vrrrrrooooom.
Kmart.  We visited Maui's Kmart.  For what you might ask?  Well...Sunblocks, ice chest....Corona's...Wine....Fireball...Limes, and never to forget all of the munchies and little things we would soon stuff into the......Cha-Cha-Charger. Ha.

At this point I think we were both exhausted, kind of shocked, and beyond curious.  Pulling into Four Seasons Resorts, and our 7 bags, all of which felt like 100 pounds, and all of which were fault of mine.  I kept thinking...time to unload, and get our groove on.
But it was bliss. More than I can type out, just simple bliss.  As I exited the car, a sweet girl quickly approached me with a Lei.  I had kind of wondered where those come into play...as you'd see in the movies, people exiting the plane were quickly covered.  After we got Lei'd...(ha) we were quickly escorted inside.  As a Mom, my first instinct was to "grab all the stuff".  And as I turned to grab the back door, two gentlemen quickly stated "we have everything..."  And boy did they.  Bill and I walk inside to the counter where the sweet girl brings us AMAZING homemade lemonade (made fresh daily), in cute little cups, while another steps out of a room to hand us super cute rolled, and very cold Eucalyptus towels for our hands.
After check in...we headed to Ferraro's for lunch.  Waiting for our room and kind of taking it all in...
And on this day, it was gloomy.  Warm, humid and gloomy.  We sort of checked things out...walked the premises...sulked in jet lag...and "just took it all in".
Upon arriving into our rooms, there was this on the table...
 You know me, and the little things.  Isn't this little jar with tag the cutest thing ever? 


 At times we'd say....hmmm...funny, I wonder where the Maui Wowie is?  I mean we live by the ocean...it felt so....Laguna.  So Newport. 

 Until you stepped into the water.....
Where it was warm and refreshing....

The start of our adventure.  Day 1


This is where the hair starts to take a turn.  HA.  You know it's humid, wet and muggy if my hair gets into a hat that early.
That afternoon while walking the path between resorts, we take a turn, and a super sweet girl, while walking with her dude, says "hey guys, when you walk up a little more, to that big bush at the turn, check back at this exact area, and look at the tree, you will see an infinity in it..."   Again, cool people, sweet suggestions.  Little things in this big world.  #awesomegirl. (if you click on each picture through my blog, you can always get a better look. didn't know if you knew that.  oh boy. closeups. awkward. haha.)
Our first Sunset.  (And actually the weakest..ha)
Back into the resort for a cocktail before Spago's. 

And yes, I managed to flat iron my hair one. more. time. 

The next morning, and each morning, Bill would serve me coffee in bed.  Before he scooted us off to the gym.  To which some days I didn't like him that much.  Until I finished my workout.  Then we were friends.  ha. 
I will post each day, with more goodness in Maui.  Today the sun is shining. I have ants in my pants.  I want to go on a walk before the girl gets home.  I was woken by her this morning before she left because "someone threw away her sunflower seeds".  which was me.   
And she was storming around through the house in search of them.  When I knew where they were.
When I told her, she turned around and said..."Mom, seriously"?

Yea, seriously.  I tend to toss if something lays around too long.

My bad.

There are a couple of garage sale signs in my hood.  It's time to look for more little flower vases.

And maybe, just maybe I will swing into the store for some more seeds.

Happy Sweet Saturday Lover Beans.

Go play.  GET OUT in this beautiful California Sunshine.  I can tell you, there is no better
place than Cali.  That's for dang sure.  We do have the best of all the worlds.

May peace be with you, and yours.

Stay sweet.

Live well.

Eat better.
