Aloha From Maui - Day Two


Adjusting to the time change going east is very different from adjusting going west. Maui is 3 hrs behind us so it was difficult staying awake the first night and we were all out cold by about 8:30a. This didn't work out too well for Kerry who was up at 3:47a and had to lay in bed until about 5:00a when Callie woke up. Carter and I followed at around 5:30a and we were all out the door to watch the sunrise. Carter and I had to head back a bit early as Carter had some sort of trouble with his foot. We're still not really sure what the problem was.
Out first road trip was to Big Beach with the Dukes. It's a big sandy beach with some pretty powerful waves. The only issue was that there weren't any showers which resulted in a large amount of sand making it back into our car. Car rental places must have very powerful vacuums. The reason for all the sand had a few obvious sources. Callie got buried and both kids spent much of their time crawling around in the surf. I never did venture over to Little Beach. Those familiar with Maui will know why this would have been either a good or bad idea.

We left McKenna around noon and headed back to the condo for a nap and some reading time. I've finally managed to finish reading 'The Hobbit'. Synopsis - 13 dwarfs and a hobbit walk a long way and find some treasure. Hobbit walks back.

Later in the afternoon we headed to Foodland for a few final groceries and then walked back down to the beach. We've now seen two separate weddings during the week take place down there. Great spot for pictures. Dinner was burger and salad and the Dukes were over until sunset.
