I was told that it was a Hawaiian tradition to stack rocks and offer up a prayer-
So when I spoke to my grandma yesterday and she asked me to place a rock with her name on it near the beach... I thought this would be the perfect compromise!
Now my grandma will have an ocean front view in Hawaii!

Hawaiian Holiday Day 5
Just when you think paradise couldn't get better...
There are several spots along the road to Hana where you will find hiking trails that bring you back to a hidden waterfall.
Yesterday, rather than taking the full trip to Hana (it's a must see while you're on Maui, but takes a full day.) Our goal was to swim in a waterfall and be back to Wailea for sunset Lava Flow's...
Mission accomplished!
We hiked back about two miles, the entire way surrounded by gorgeous trees, colorful vegetation and the winding river.
When we arrived at Twin Falls we were ready for a refreshing dive into the pond!
Just about anywhere you go on Maui, you will discover a secret treasure!
Aloha!

Hawaiian Holiday Day 4
Good things come to people who get up at 5:00 AM every
morning on vacation in Hawaii...
On the fourth day- the sun rose up from behind Haleakala volcano!
It was an explosion of light and a burst of color.
Definitely worth the wait!

Hawaiian Holiday Day 3
Sunrise... Sunset!
Yesterday I woke up early to watch the sunrise, and saw nothing but grey skies!
Thankfully last night we had the pleasure of sipping multiple Lava Flows and eating the most outrageously decadent off-the-bone braised short ribs from the Humuhumunukunukuapua'a at the Grand Wailea while watching this sunset:

Hawaiian Holiday Day 2
Not every sunrise is beautiful... even in Hawaii.
I woke up at 5 AM to witness the gorgeous pink, orange and purple sunrise that I heard my family bragging about yesterday morning.
Naturally today the skies were grey and cloudy.
But every cloud has a silver lining. Literally. There was a stunning silver lining that wrapped around the horizon. The sun peaked through a cloud and the sky turned blue!
Every day is paradise in Hawaii!
Even when it's grey and cloudy!
