Maui Part I

We rented a car and spent the first part of our vacation in Kihei which is on the south part of the island.
 
This is the beach at our first hotel. It was super pretty.
 
Oh and p.s... Hawaii beach water is sooo much warmer than S.F water! Who would have thought.
 
Jon couldn't get enough of the pool rules. He loved how they had the most normal rules at the bottom on number 7 and 8.
 
This is the kitty that kept on following us around and I was secretly feeding and trying to make my pet....until Jon found out.
 
See the beach back there? This is where we spent the first day soaking in the sun....we are so not used to sun! SPF 30 for us whites.
 
The third night we camped up on the volcano.....which I found out is actually considered active!!! Jon you liar!
 
We did a little hike around our campsite....it was super pretty...and Jon got all climby.
That's our camp spot down there.
 
The only way we were able to pull it off was that we took our smaller backpacking sleeping bags and tents. Jon did a ton of preparation, which landed us with some smooth, care free camping. Thanks buddy.
We played some cards until our tinfoil dinners were done cooking. Poor Jon hit his knee on the table.....and I for some reason thought it was funny.
 
The amazing sunset from our campsite.
 
Jon's beautiful creations..... tinfoil dinners.  He has been wanting to do these the last few times we've been camping. He finally was able to get it out of his system.

You guys are so adventurous! I love the sunset, so beautiful! Is your hair really that long? Didn't you just chop it all off? Either which way, you look like a babe to me. :)

I wondered about the volcano being active. But wasn't I good---I didn't worry about it. You really captured a beautiful sunset.

Did you chop your hair off? I thought it was still long.

In that picture of you sitting on the bench looking at your campsite, I'm pretty sure that tree in front of you was giving you the metal sign!
