After a breakfast of Banana/White Chocolate/Macadamia Nut pancakes at the Gazebo in Napili Bay, we were all smiles!
The past week in Maui has been an amazing mix of fun, family, and relaxation - in what might be the most beautiful place on the planet. The thing that makes Maui so special is that you can literally do as much (snorkeling, surfing, diving, entertainment, eating, etc) or as little (laying on the beach, reading a book, napping, etc) that you like. I can honestly say that it has been the perfect way to reconnect with our lives back at home, while "easing" in to North American culture. Here's a few pics from our adventures!
Christie holds a burning one-hundred dollar bill (worth 11 Euro) during the "Warren & Annabelle" magic show. If you do one night time event in Maui, Warren is UNBELIEVABLE - with a blend of humor, magic, and personality that will leave you both bewildered and happy. We sat in the front row and became his little "Guinea Pigs" that he picked on all show long... imagine that?!
My uncle Scott executing a perfect cliff dive from a height of over 50 feet! The little dots in the water are me and my brother-in-law Chris... just to give you perspective! (Try that other D3 Head Coaches!!!)
The food has been incredible... and much more hearty than in Europe. Here my cousin Jessi digs into a plate of Ribs, hoping to carry on the family legacy of eating ridiculous amounts of food.

One fun thing we did was return to the place where Christie and I got engaged two years ago - the Grand Wailea Hotel & Spa. It is one of the most luxury hotels in the world, and it was so fun reliving that special moment!!!
Well, after such a tough week we're off to Oahu on Sunday to visit our close friends! When will the "permanent vacation" ever stop?!! (Positologist Translation: Who is going to email me now with an unbelievable job offer that I can't say no to?!)
