Last weekend was a three day weekend thanks to King Kamehameha. We decided to stay home and do a Maui vacation this time. On Saturday morning we went to the Sugar Museum in Pu’unene and learned about sugar milling. The museum was pretty small, but it had an interesting 10 minute video about how they extract all that yummy sweetness from the cane.
Later in the day we went to Wailea Beach to wade in the water and read our books. The water felt warmer than it has in a while... Summer is here! Brooke was at the beach too, so we talked to her a bit while we cooled down in the ocean.
Saturday night was Maria’s birthday party; we went to Sansei for some half-priced sushi and full priced drinks. The bill came to over $300! Pics are here.
On Sunday we bummed around the house for most of the day, but we also did a 3 mile bike ride down at La Perouse Bay.
On Monday, we packed a cooler full of food and headed out to Ulua Beach. We snorkeled all around the reef which was great because the water was VERY clear. Then we hung out at the beach for a while reading, eating, and laying in the sun.
After a while we decided to pack up and head over to Polo Beach to do some boogie boarding. The waves there weren’t very big though so we only got a few good rides in… Every time we headed back to our chairs, we had to run because the sand was insanely hot!
At 7pm we went out to Mulligan’s to listen to Gypsy Pacific a gypsy jazz band that we discovered last week. Our table overlooked the ocean and we watched the sun set behind Lana’i.
A pretty great 3 day weekend…
