After an early morning walk, we started our day:
Day two we decided to start our day with walking the Coastal Trail. It was stunning!!
We then headed into Lahaina where we had a great lunch on the water at Cheeseburger in Paradise.
Rob went and picked up some snorkel equipment and later that afternoon we went to Black Rock beach to snorkel.
At one point I was swimming and snorkeling and felt something bump me. I turned and out of the corner of my eye i saw a shadow. It was a huge sea turtle!!! I screamed!!! ( underwater!). Rib was close by so I grabbed him and we went and swam a bit above and beside this incredible creature! We eventually lost him, but wow!
We headed back to shore to find Gabe and Shannon. They had seen a few little turtles too – then we all saw some more frolicking in the waves! Amazing!
We headed back and rested before heading to pick some food up at the fish market. We brought it back and had a had a nice dinner on our patio. We enjoyed just chilling and talking!
Friday morning I was up super early bcs I knew it was Zach’s pday and he could message and call. He was 4 hour ahead but we messaged as soon as he was up. I love that his first message was about laundry! Shout or the spray n wash stick! Lol.
We set a time to talk and managed to pull Josh (and Reggie!) onto a video chat. It was so good talking to him! He had a bunch of questions to ask that he’d been keeping track of, things he needed etc. He’s doing great! Said he was no longer homesick, that the days are full, but busy and fun! I hated letting him go (but we messaged all the way until his pday was over).
After our call, we headed into Lahaina for some açaí bowls. Soooooo good!
We decided to head north again to another area to hike what’s called “blowhole”. It was super rocky and very cool. The blowhole didn’t erupt more than a foot or so though – it can get up to 70 feet. But wow! Beautiful area!
After the hike we hit another beach and jumped in the big waves and snorkeled. Rob and I found another sea turtle!
We headed back to Lahaina where we had a great lunch right on the ocean at a place called Mala. I think it was my fave meal! The setting was stunning!
We did some shopping and then had some delicious shaved ice.
We headed back and the boys played tennis while we just rested and chatted. We all chatted until late but it so good spending that time together!
