Aloha from Maui!

Greetings from Maui! Just thought I'd write a quick post before heading to bed. Dash and Kevin are already asleep (it is only 8:45 PM here)!

We arrived safely on Thursday for the start of our Hawaiian vacation. The flight was a bit trying as Dash only slept about 45 minutes out of the 5 1/2 hour flight. He had his own seat (with his car seat) this time so at least we had some extra room. We did have to keep an eye on him kicking the seat in front of him. But things steadily improved from there. Once we made it to the beach, the relaxation began. Dash has been surprisingly mellow and when not playing in the sand, he has been kicking back on a lounge chair!

Of course Dash is still on Seattle time and has been waking up at 5:30 AM Hawaii time (two hours behind Seattle/PST). He wakes up bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to start his day. It is still dark however, which puts a damper on things. Not to mention that Kevin and I were not quite ready for such an early waking....but I have taken it as an opportunity to get out for a run/walk the last two mornings. This morning we were about 20 minutes from our hotel and Dash fell asleep. On our way back, I stopped for coffee and the barista asked me how I got Dash from his bed to the stroller without waking him. I kindly informed her that I would not have been up at that early hour had he not be awake in the first place! I certainly favor my sleep (and Dash's) over exercise.

Anyway, I am attaching some photos from the first part of our trip.....

  1. Excellent photos, Cristina, it looks like you guys are having a great time. Dash is always so cute. I remember that first photo background from your trip to Hawaii when he was just a small baby. Enjoy the sun and see you when you get home!

  2. Hi Shelby! Yes, we stayed at the same place and had to get a similar pic with Dash on the bed with all of those pillows. He wasn't quite as cooperative as last time but loved hiding amongst those pillows.

    We returned home last night....kind of sad to be home since we had fabulous weather there and a pretty relaxing time.
