Out of Control
I don't know what has been going on lately but I have been winning contests left and right! Today I won tickets to Keith Urban (my fav) at the Midstate Fair. There's no better feeling than sitting there listening to the radio with your fingers crossed that your name would be drawn and then actually hearing your name on the radio!

Maui Adventure #6
I was lucky enough to get to celebrate my 29th birthday this year in Maui. My last year of being in my 20's is a little scary, but I couldn't imagine a better place to celebrate. Today was literally my day as Tim told me I was in charge of the plans. Well, that meant spend all day at the fancy resort beaches (we camped out at the Four Seasons) and enjoy a tasty meal oceanside. We went to Duke's on the water in Kaanapali. It was my favorite restaurant of the entire trip. Sitting right on the ocean watching the sunset wasn't bad either. Hopefully this last year in my 20's will continue as good as it began.
Maui Adventure #5
The next adventure was attending a Luau. The last time I was in Maui I opted not to do a Luau, so this time we sprang for it. I think it is something you have to try once in Hawaii. The coolest part of the show were the fire dancers. The food wasn't bad either, the huge roasted pig was my favorite. I'm sure it was because of all the seasoning salt that was on the pork.
Maui Adventure #4
We drove the road to Hana! Basically this is a one lane winding road that goes about 65 miles into the town of Hana. It is the more tropical, lush side of the Island. There were lots of waterfalls to explore. It took almost 3 hours to drive one way. We went on a 4 mile hike through a bamboo forest to a spectacular waterfall and then took our time heading back stopping at Hana's black sand beach.

Maui Adventure #3
The third adventure might not be an adventure to some but sitting on the beaches of Maui had to make the list. My kind of adventure came in the form of scoping out the best beaches. We definitely had our favorites and when we found them we kept coming back day after day. So beach hopping became an adventure until we found our favorite spot and then it was sheer relaxation. Our favorite beach was Kapalua. A little more private, about 20 turtle sitings a day, and only a mile from our condo.
Maui Adventure #2
For our second adventure we went snorkeling. We took a boat about 3 miles out to a crater called Molokini. The visibility was incredible (about 200ft). We saw lots of fish and best of all turtles. It was incredible to be able to swim 2 ft from the sea turtles. They are so docile and don't even seem to mind that you are right next to them swimming.
