Hawaii Day 7 June 2, 2023

Today was fun but I can’t believe we have to go home tomorrow.  Nick and I walked along the Kapalua Trail and by some incredible homes and golf courses.

We stopped at the Napili Market (grocery store) and got home around 10:30. We all put our suits on and hung out of chaise lounges.  Grant got SO sunburned on Day 2 that he wasn’t really wanting to spend a ton of time in the water but we had a small ball and the four of us played volleyball, soccer, baseball and hacky sac with it.  We drank some pina coladas and watched part of the A&M baseball game (vs Cal Fullerton in the Stanford Regional – baseball).  There were six turtles directly under our balcony this afternoon!

Hard to see turtles under the balcony

We got dressed in our family picture outfit and drove into Kaanapali where we had dinner reservations at Leilani’s on the Beach.  We first got gas in Kahana and drove down the Lower Honoapiliani Road a bit. We parked in Kaanapali and walked through Whaler’s Village, getting to the restaurant about an hour early.  We opted to dine outside where we could seat ourselves immediately.  The menu wasn’t as extensive as the main restaurant but we started with ceviche then each got meals we loved while listening to a band of three guys play Hawaiian music and other songs from Little Mermaid.  The sunset was stunning and we were able to get a great family photo. 

First trip where any of us packed "nice" clothes.

Afterwards the kids got gelato and we headed home. 

What a fun trip.
