Maui via the Whale route

We went to Maui via Alaska this spring break.  We debated on going to Disneyland, but Maui was cheaper.  We went with some friends and their kids and we had fun.  The kids played with each other and had a blast body boarding and snorkeling.  We went body boarding at  Kam. beach.  The kids figured out how to catch the waves.   Ella and Camden learned  to snorkel in the pool at the hotel and the next day we went into the ocean at Mile marker 14.  I was a little nervous because it is open ocean but they did great.  Ella saw a starfish and lots of fish.  Camden was excited that he saw the starfish and was proud because he peed right above the starfish.  We saw a lot of fish and I saw a HUGE tropical fish.  WE ended up going on a whale watching tour and saw about 20 whales.  It was amazing and even worth roughing the high and rolling seas.  Our plane ended up with mechanical difficulties so we got to stay an extra night in paradise.  WE flew home through California.   We had so much fun and I found some great tanning oil and after sun lotion. WE flew home with zero sunburns this time!
