9 months old and Hawaii re-cap

We had a great vacation in Hawaii. We stayed at the Marriott Maui Ocean Club, it was awesome.

There were 3 pool complexes and the one we were parked at for most of the time was shady and not crowded. It was like we had the place to ourselves. Each night we grilled our food and had grilled fresh pineapple for dessert!

Hazel did so well on both plane rides and adjusted to the time change ok, but now that we're back home, she is still on island time :( She made friends with everyone she met and knew almost everyone there. She loved swimming in the pool, but did not like the ocean so much, and she did not like the sand.

Half way through our trip, my mom and aunt arrived, so we spent a lot of time with them. We shopped in Lahaina, we drove to Haleakala and we lounged at the pool.

It was such a great trip. However, I don't think that I want to take that long of a plane ride (7hrs there, 5hrs back) with Hazel until she is a little older. Like I said, she did great and did not cry hardly at all, but the stress of making sure she was occupied and not crying was the hard part.
