I got to take a trip to Maui, Hawaii with my mom over Spring Break. It was the best vacation ever! Here are a just a few of the several hundered pictures we took. So much fun! We can't wait to go back! :)

Excited to be in Maui!!

At the Luau. So pretty!

First sunset!

Beach!

Normal. Dog at the beach!

Lucious and green scenery!

So excited to be at the aquarium! 

Lovin me some Maui Ocean Center

My momma :)

Sunrise bike ride. Don't worry, it rained, sleeted, and was entirely foggy. This was about what our sunrise looked like anyhow.

This is what we got up at 3 AM for. Haha. It was still fun though!

Cleared up as the day went on!

Pretty!

Snorkeling day! Super excited.

Seriously the ocean felt like a heated pool. It was so great.

Look alike tiki men. It's actually our flippers under water. Hahah.

"Road to Hana". Day trip, so prettty!

We didn't match purposely... wierd.

loved the waterfalls :)

Wine tasting. So yummy!

whale watching! stoked!

 

first sighting! 

All the white on the fin is actually scar tissue. You can generally judge the age of the whale depending on how much there is.

There was some serious business goin down right before this. The mom and her baby were surrounded by 4 or 5 other males, and they were getting really mad with each other, trying to be with the momma. There was fighting happening under the water (less than 50 yards from our boat) and then this happened! 3 times! 90,000 pounds of blubber jumping out of the water. It was seriously one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

On our way back, we got to see dolphins! This was actually our second sighting of them (the first was a school of a few hundred Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins). These are Bottle Nose Dolphins and this picture is not zoomed in. They were so close to the boat! This is also rare cause they generally hang out under the water but they felt like showing off today :) this is the dad, but the mom and baby were swimming close by!

Again, this is not zoomed in. Crazy how close they were! It was super neat!
