Getting away from the snow

This was the view looking out our window of the condo, on the beautiful island of Maui. The weather was wonderful, 70's at night and 80 during the day, light breezes and just plan beautiful all day long. What a great way to spend 6 days in the middle of January. We left home with the temp in the 20's, the week before we left it was 17 below zero, can you blame us for getting away. We had a great time soaking up the sun. Hopefully it will keep us for the rest of the winter.


Our beautiful daughters, Tawny, Tawna, and Tassa, this was Tawna's birthday celebration eating dinner at the Outback.

Walking along the beach every morning barefoot I got to see these amazing sights, waves breaking and surfers riding those waves.


Walking along the boat docks on the way to our whale watching trip, we saw this big sword fish that someone had just caught. To see the pictures of our whale watching trip click here to see Tawny's great pictures. http://tawnythornton.blogspot.com/ .








Some of the beautiful flowers growing along the road just about everywhere you look.





The last day in Maui, on the way to the airport we spotted this rainbow. Look close from the top of the pole down and left. It was much brighter when we took the picture.
