Smealls Do Maui - Day 9 - A Day with no Agenda

We pretty much checked off all the things we wanted to do for sure on our trip, leaving these last couple days open for whatever. It's a nice way to end - not trying to cram any last minute things in, but instead just go with the flow and relax. 

We started the morning with our usual walk for coffee and park play. I probably don't even need to type this part anymore, because by now you know it's our routine. It was a beautiful morning! 

After we played at the park we stopped at a local farmers market for some pineapple and cucumbers. Natalie has sure become a fan of pineapple! She wanted to carry it until she realized it's a little prickly. 

When we got back to the condo, we went and played in the pool! We were the ONLY ones in the pool area. It was so nice to have the place all to ourselves. We all had so much fun in the pool! Part of what is so nice about staying at a private condo is that it's typically really quiet, a lot of old people and owners. We don't have a lot of other visitors to deal with. Definitely feels more like home than a resort. In fact, Natalie has been calling our condo our "house" - sign we should just move??!! Hah!

After the pool we had our lunch and Natty went down for nap. 

We planned to cook in tonight and Joe made us some yummy chicken. He also threw some of the pineapple on the BBQ which was a nice addition. We had an early dinner and then decided to go for a drive. We wanted to explore further into Makena and see what other beaches there were.

We found Big Beach and watched a beautiful sunset. We will most likely come back to this beach tomorrow. The water is so blue and the waves look big and fun! 

On our way back into Kihei, we stopped in Wailea to make our second visit to a yummy ice cream shop. It's called Lapperts and it's so yummy!! I had white chocolate, macadamia nut ice cream. Good thing we are doing all the walking and jogging to balance out some of these calories ;) 

That pretty much sums up our day. Here's some pics...Enjoy!

 We went by this whale almost everyday and finally got a picture!
