For the past two years we have traveled to Maui in March to see the humpback whales. Every year over 10,000 humpback whales migrate to the shallow waters of Maui and it is MAGICAL! You can see whales breaching, splashing their tails, and slapping their flippers from basically anywhere on the island. It doesn't matter if I've seen it 1 or 1,000 ...

Hawaii: The Big Island
The Big Island...aka Hawaii, but that confuses people, is awesome! The terrain actually reminds me of the mountains in Colorado a little, but the beaches are also great. We love to travel to the Big Island because the water is beaming with life! The Big Island is kind of our 'activity' island. I know that scares some of you relaxing-type folk ...
Kauai: Things to Do!
Remember last post when I said we like to unplug and relax when we visit Kauai? Yeah....turns out maybe we don't relax a whole lot on vacation! We do, however, have a great time wherever we go. It's tough to just sit still when there's so much beauty to explore. In our eyes, the islands are an experience, not just a place to visit. For the ...
Maui: Places to Stay & Visit
Last post (HERE) we shared some of our favorite food and snorkel spots on the island of Maui. I thought we'd take a minute to post our top things to do on the island. Honestly, our list of places to eat and things to do could go on forever, so here are some of the top things you'll find us doing on one of our favorite ...
Kauai: Where to Stay & Eat
Oh Kauai, how we love you! If you're looking for a place to unplug and relax, this is the island for you. Kauai does not have as much entertainment and shopping as Maui, but Kauai has a way of drawing you in and washing away your worries about work with its beauty. We have visited Kauai the past two summers and loved every.single.minute. We ...
Maui: Places to Eat & Snorkel
I’m not sure we could put into word how much the Lemons’ crew LOVES Maui! We’ve always said we’d live there in a heartbeat! It’s small and has a beautiful island ‘feel,’ but is also large enough that there are great restaurants, places to shop, movie theaters, and FREE things to do! We love all of the islands for different ...
Our Last Days!
On Thursday morning we woke up early to go to Slappy Cakes for breakfast. We had gone earlier in the trip, but Joelle insisted we go back! She loves it because you make your own pancakes. We love it because it's entertaining and delicious! After breakfast we headed to the beach before we got dumped on with quite a bit of ...
Maui: Beach Days
On Hope and Wade's last beach day we found the perfect spot. We could plop our chairs in the grass while the kids played in the sand. No sand all over my body=perfection in my eyes! We found our way back to the same beach the next day so that this little guy could play in the sand...While these two went scuba diving!Give the kid a ...
Maui: The Road to Hana
Saturday was the big day... The Road to Hana! Jared and I made this journey a few years ago and I had a lot of car anxiety (for the first time ever). I was NOT looking forward to it this year, but decided that it's just something we had to do over again so that the kids could see all of the different stops. Jared planned for us to ...
Maui Part Two!
If I'm going to be completely honest, my days are getting mixed up here! It's this island living that's turned my brain to mush!!!We drove to Wailuku for some of Julia's famous banana bread. That drive is not for the faint of heart... very curvy and narrow!! BUT... the treats and drinks she has there make it all worth it!I mean, ...
