Just Maui'd

I am still waiting on our wedding pictures, but I decided to go ahead and post some pictures from our honeymoon even though they will be out of order. Jason and I left Monday morning after the wedding and headed to Maui for our honeymoon. We had a fantastic time and would recommend it for vacation to anyone. It is absolutely beautiful and and exceeded all of our expectations. After being there a week, we were still not ready to come home. It was a week full of fun and relaxation and the perfect way to start our marriage.



We rented a convertible for the week. We loved it and enjoyed driving with the top down and enjoying the sun and sites.


View from our balcony. Since Maui is 5 hours earlier than Houston, I woke up really early every morning and would sit on the balcony and read for a while before we headed out for the day.



Walking down the beach in front of our resort.

In the lobby of our resort. It was all open air and there were huge coy fish in the water. Everything was so lush and beautiful. The first day we just relaxed by the pool for most of day since we were tired from the wedding weekend and long day of travel the day before.

Sunset from Leilani's (our favorite restaurant in Maui). We loved eating here and watching the sunset.

Jason golfed on Wednesday, and I rode with him in the cart. The course was amazing and the weather was perfect. This is Jason's favorite picture from the entire trip (I think b/c his swing looks good) :)

Us on the golf course. The course ran along the coast, and every hole had fantastic views of the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other.

Jason after too much time at the pool. He went through an entire can of Solarcaine in a couple of days.

On Thursday, Jason and I did the Road to Hana. It is a long winding road through the mountains. There are tons of places to pull over and take in the sites. It was incredibly green, and we had breath-taking views. They average 365 inches of rain per year in these mountains.

Jason and I in front of a waterfall on the way to Hana. Hana is just a city at the top of the mountain. We didn't drive all the way to Hana but made it all the way to the black sand beach pictured below.

Jason and I kissing in a sea cave. The water had washed out this cave, and we decided to explore.

On Friday, Jason and I took a helicopter tour. I highly recommend this. We saw incredible waterfalls and parts of the island that are uninhabited and can only be seen by air. Maui is where parts of Jurasic Park were filmed, and we flew in the same area that they flew at the beginning of the movie when they were landing on the island.

View from the helicopter. The water was electric blue and so clear.

We saw huge waterfalls on the helicopter tour.

In the car, packed up, and headed back to the airport. Jason and I left on Sunday night and took an overnight flight back to Houston that landed Monday morning. So sad to leave, but we had the best time. We were so blessed to have such a fantastic honeymoon!
