Maui 2014 - Turtle Town

Kerry and Callie got up early again and went down to the beach for sunrise. Carter and I were a bit slower to get up and I could tell Carter was unhappy that he didn't get to go. We'll have to make sure to wake him up from now on.

We took some time to make sandwiches and pack a picnic lunch as our plan was to hit Turtle Town and Big Beach. Last time we went to Turtle Town we ended up at a more secluded part but this time we knew to go a bit further to get to the main snorkeling area.
We were a bit late arriving but we managed to grab the last parking spot. The area was much busier than I was expecting with SCUBA lessons and two boats of snorkelers parked just off the coast. Kerry and I both got to go snorkeling but it was very windy and the water was quite cloudy. Coupled with the SCUBA people running you over with their jet packs it wasn't exactly on my top 10 for snorkeling spots. The spot we went to last year nearby was much better but considering I stepped on a sea urchin and almost drown, I wasn't going to try it this year with even bigger waves.
We had considered going to Big Beach but that beach is wavy on a calm day so we figured we'd save that for another day and headed back to the condo. I had a quick nap and as I was waking up I figured out a way to fix the WIFI. (See! Napping is a good thing.)

We met up with the Dukes for happy hour at Moose McGilly Cuddy's. A great bar with $3.00 drinks from 4:00p to 6:00p. I don't think they put a lot of alchohol in them but they're still tasty. We stopped by their place for a quick drink before heading to the grill to cook dinner while the kids took a dip in the pool. Another great day.
