On Wednesday, we were going to head out to the Surfing Goat Dairy but realized we didn't have much room in our fridge in the hotel so we'd have to wait until Saturday to go. Instead we drove to Lahaina and did some sightseeing and had lunch at the Lahaina Fish Co.....don't waste your time if you're ever there, it wasn't very good. Next we stopped by the Ono Gelato Company www.onogelatocompany.com which is awesome!!! I recommend Ono Gelato Company to everyone. We left Lahaina and drove all around the north west coast. The view was spectacular!! Not too long into our drive the road narrowed to 1 lane and it was pretty scary. Honestly, I don't do well in cars to begin with, so you add heights and narrow roads and I was much happier staring at my feet. We finished up our drive and returned to Wailea to play in the pool again with Wyatt. Wednesday night we went to the movies to see Despicable Me in 3D....so funny!!! I can't wait until Wyatt is old enough to appreciate it.
On Thursday we had an awesome lunch at Mama's Fish House in Paia....A MUST!!! The meal was divine, just a little pricey so it's one of those places you budget for. After lunch we drove up to Haleakala. I love the top of Haleakala, you can see so far! The sky is so blue up there and the air is so fresh. You can see the Big Island, Lanai, and Molokai from the summit. At the top you are above 10,000 feet and it is actually cold up there!! (wear jeans, a sweatshirt, and real shoes.....no flipflops unless you want cold toes!) We drove to the visitor center and there was a group loading up their horses in the trailer. They let Wyatt and I pet one of the horses so that was Wyatt's first time seeing a horse!! Thursday night Brian and I went to the movies to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice...we thought it was awesome! I don't care what the critics say, I loved it.
On Friday we went to the pool early in the day because we went on a helicopter ride Friday afternoon. I have to admit i was nervous about the ride, I'd never been in a helicopter before. We flew over western Maui and Molokai. The sights were amazing!!! If you get the chance to take a helicopter ride while in Hawaii, I recommend Blue Hawaiian Helicopters.
Friday night we went to dinner at Kai (a Japanese restaurant) at the Shops at Wailea. We love Japanese food and they have pretty good eats!
Saturday we headed to the Surfing Goat Dairy for a tour of the farm and then for some cheese. They have the best cheese....I swear!! www.surfinggoatdairy.com If you get the chance, go! I am quite fond of the "Ole" goat cheese...it has artichokes and jalepenos in it....yum! After the dairy we went to the aquarium and Wyatt loved it. He loves fish! He's so cute, pointing at all the fish and yelling at the tanks.
Sadly our trip came to an end and we flew back to Honolulu. My parents stayed at the airport to catch their connecting flight back to Las Vegas. Poor Wyatt was pretty tired and slept the entire way home. It was a great vacation and we look forward to the next one.
