It was a rainy morning in Hawaii and the forecast showed rain most of the day. we thought this would be a good day to hit some of the downtown shops. Mark was up early and did his morning elliptical exercise, followed by an hour long Maui massage. I told Mark I would rather spend the money from a massage on some shopping. I made a morning stop at the farmer's market to get some more goodies for our room. I got more fresh fruit along with pineapple salsa and pineapple bagels. The kids went with and managed to miss a down pour . We got lucky to miss the rain and made it back to our hotel just in time for more rain. It was a 3 block walk. We headed to the Lahaina shops, as did everyone else on the island. it was very busy and parking was an issue. The rain had stopped for the time that we shopped too. We were able to explore the giant Banyan tree in the park before splitting up girls and guys. Luke met and gave a star to a veteran who was very kind. Jayden frequented her new Maui coffee shop with a funny name, to get an iced coffee. She claimed they were the best ever. The boys all went to museums in the area while us girls shopped. We all met at noon at Bubba Gump Shrimp. We did some more shopping and Luke went with the girls and found his souvenir, a giant stuffed sea turtle. I love that he still loves his stuffed animals and was excited to take home his turtle he would name Maui.
The rest went on to the old sugar Mill and took a tour. Jake was heart broken that it was abandoned. He really enjoyed seeing everything and how it used to be but just made him sad to see it was a thing of the past.
Back at the hotel it started raining again. My parents wanted to give us a night out and they would stay in with our kids and enjoy time with them. They ordered a movie and pizza and stayed at our hotel with the kids. Mark and I went out to dinner back in Lahiana to a delicious restaurant on the water. it was pouring so we didnt really get to enjoy the ocean.
