Disney World!!

Lizzie got to meet Mickey Mouse! She was very excited by the whole Disney World experience. She was actually able to go on many of the rides including Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, etc. She liked Haunted Mansion so much we went on it 3 times!

We had a full Disney experience staying at a Disney resort and park hopping each day visiting Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood MGM, Downtown Disney, Disney Quest, etc. We were so happy that Mike was able to come with us for this trip- he's a real laugh a minute and added a lot of fun to the trip. Also, he got a lot of time with Lizzie and we knew he obtained true family status when she started voluntarily giving him her cute baby kisses and reaching out her arms for him.

We even got to go behind the scenes to staff and friends only locations thanks to a friend, Laura! She was quite the tour guide. She really added the cherry on top of the whole experience.

I LOVE Maui

We have taken up vacationing as a career this summer and, let me tell you, we are working hard at it! We have been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up with the blogging or even take nearly as many pictures as I would like. BUT, we are having sooo much fun.

Maui is my favorite place in the world. Maybe because that was our honeymoon spot and its full of so many good memories. I absolutely love just spending time at the beaches there. It was great to be able to share the experience with our best friends from dental school. We are all so glad to be done with dental school and moving on in life. It was a great way to celebrate.

It was fun to have Lizzie with us this time too! She definitely loved the whole Hawaii experience. She is an outdoor girl who is not afraid to get dirty, wet, or just plain hot and sweaty. She was so good natured and just smiled the whole time.

We had to keep an eye on her though because when we weren't looking she would sneak a taste of the sand. We had some sandy diapers for a while...

Not only did she act like a local by being so happy at the beach, but she looked like one in her little authentic Maui outfit.

We spent most of our time at the beaches, but we did get out a bit to see a pineapple plantation, visit the shopping districts, and, of course, visit the Kihei Cafe for breakfast. I still maintain that the Kihei Cafe has the best french toast in the world.


I think my favorite activity while there was SCUBA DIVING!!! We did 2 days worth of excursions looking at Turtle Town and Coral Reefs. There was so much sea life to see. I spent alot of the time chasing the huge turtles on the ocean floor.

It ended up being great weather and the water had some pretty big waves. It was really funny to watch people being swallowed up by the huge waves.

We really enjoyed having our good friends there to share all the fun times with.

Hopefully this will be the first of many more, post grad, vacation get togethers.
