Maui oh Maui

So... about a month ago, I know lame it has taken this long to post about, Spencer and I slipped of to beautiful Maui, Hawaii. It really was dreamy and quiet. Almost too quiet. Spencer I think had this image in his head of surfing the waves in Maui and activities activities and activities. Needless to say he was a little bummed. If anyone has been to Maui, or heard of it... you know there are NO waves. Spencer did attempt. He rented a surf board and paddled out to were some surfers were, all seating on their boards, and waited. I watched on the beach reading and laughing at him. There were these little itty bitty waves he would jump at, hoping that they would turn into at least a 3 foot wave... ha ha. Nope. So, renting boards was over with. Who wants to pay to sit on a board in the middle of the ocean? Not me, or Spencer. So Spencer spent the majority of his time jumping off "black rock" and snorkeling. We were staying at the Sheraton on Kannapali (sp?) beach. It was very nice.
I do think that my husband has decided that I am a bit boring, all I wanted to do was swim a little and read. By the time I was done with my 3rd book I felt a little bad, so tried to be more active, this is when he "found" a book. We swapped at this point. Kind of funny actually.
We did take a day to drive the road to Hana, and although it was beautiful (especailly in our hot orange Mustang convertible... ha ha ha, can anyone say tourists?), after the 1 hour, we wanted to turn back. But I made Spencer keep going. I remembered the 7 pools that were so magical when I was little (I came to Maui about 6-7th grade with a friend and her family), and I remember there was this little white church on a peninsula surrounded by a black sanded beach. It was , and still it, one of the most beautiful memories of the islands I have. So I kept telling Spencer how I wanted to see it again. Come to find out, after driving three hours on the road to hana. The earth quakes that happened a year or more ago took half the road to hana... so we were about three miles out of luck. I wanted to SCREAM! So we wasted a whole day driving. I will never drive "the road to Hana" again, so not worth it. At least we think so. So we stopped off at "Mama's Fish House" to eat some yummy fish (everyone we had talked to had mentioned this place, so we knew it would be gold) - ummm note to self: Don't trust anyone when it comes to food! It was nasty! And they charges for re-fills on drinks. We should have seen this and backed out at once. Any place that does that usually stinks. And it sure did. But the location was amazing!!! And almost worth half our check.
Other than that we really loved the time spent in Maui. We had such a good time not having to "think" and just hanging out together. However, Hudson was missed way too much. :) I think I might have major problems. I was physically sick by the third day because I missed him so much. So sad I know. He did great. He did better with his Nana, then he does with me. Minded her to a "T". What a peach. At least he minds others.
So now we are back, and getting better (still not 100%) from this sickness. Mainly me. And back into the groove of things. We love taking time to go on vacations, but love coming home almost even more. I think that is a good thing. How horrible it would be to never want to come home.
