We just had a great trip to Maui. Franz and I had a medical conference to go to, and we brought along the kids and Franz's mom to enjoy with us. We stayed at the Grand Wailea. It was a true vacation - so relaxing and enjoyable. The only negative - I lost my phone on the last day along with a bunch of great pictures - but I realized we still had plenty on our other devices.

| Elliot loved it |

| Elliot is ready for the beach!! |
The hotel was really nice (we just chose it b/c that was where the conference was - but we will definitely stay there next time!

We spent one day in Lahaina - shopping and shaved ice and an amazing Banyan tree!
Of course we spent most of our time at the pool/beach - Isabel loved it!

| Isabel got buried in the sand |
 |
| So she got back at dad. :) |

| Franz was like a kid again boogey boarding |

We ate lots of good (but overpriced) food. Mmmmm, missing the fish already
 |
| My Aunt Laura and Uncle Todd happened to be in Maui the same time as us and joined us for dinner! |

We drove the Road to Hana halfway - the kids slept on the way out and then Izzie was car sick on the way back, so I am glad we didn't go for the whole thing! It was beautiful, though.

| Last stop - Paia for a stroll on the way to the airport. |
Isabel was sad to go, as you can see in the movie below...
