Waaaaay back in May, B and I visited the beautiful island of Maui to celebrate the upcoming birth of our little man and B's 30th birthday. This was our second time visiting the Hawaiian islands, but our first time on Maui. We stayed on the western side of the island in Ka'anapali at the Sheraton Maui Resort. When we visited Kaui a few years back, we stayed in a small condo through a home-away website and had a fabulous experience, but this time we wanted to stay somewhere right on the beach where we could be pampered, and somewhere that offered activities, relaxation, and entertainment without having to go anywhere. The hotel was located right alongside Ka'anapali Beach and the famous Black Rock {a popular place to cliff dive, if you're up for it}.

There was some pretty incredible scuba diving at the beach right in front of our hotel. The first day we were there we saw a humongous sea turtle while scuba diving. Such an incredible sight, and such an incredible memory. If only I'd had an underwater camera!
We also spent many sunsets sipping cocktails and enjoying the beauty around us at the beachside bar. My "cocktail" consisted of a fruit smoothie full of strawberries, raspberries, and most importantly pineapple. Yummmmmm. There was a nightly "professional" cliff dive that would take place at sunset. However, the only night that we were actually there when the dive was supposed to take place, the diver forgot to show up!

We did in fact, explore much of the westside of Maui outside of our hotel {which I'll talk about in my next post}, but we also spent a few glorious days simply relaxing in a cabana on the beach at our hotel. These were truly some of my favorite days.
