Jacqi and I got back from Maui a few weeks ago - and besides sharing some pictures with you guys, we brought back some chocolate cover macadamia nuts for you!  We love hearing from you guys on our blog, so we’re going to send our tenth commenter on this post a box of Hawaiian love!

I love snorkeling.  I also managed to take my father in law surfing while we were there!

This helicopter ride made me want to watch Jurassic Park again!  I guess they used these sea cliffs for the intro scene.

Whats your favorite pic? 

  1. I love all the surfboard/beetle shots! Did you surf? I tried it once on Oahu and it kicked my ass… after managing to get up and ride a wave in, the first thing I thought of was where’s the lift/toe rope to get back out? ;~D

  2. Does it count if I leave comments 10 times? ;)

    These are such AMAZING pictures! I can’t wait to for our engagement and wedding pictures to happen! (actually, I can since I need more time planning. lol).

    POST MORE!!! (please!).

  3. oh.. and my favorite picture is the one where she’s posing with her surfboard against the blue sky! It looks very editorial… or what I think is editorial anyway! (plus the other one of just the blue sky and landscape!).

  7. I figure 7 is a far holier number than 10. You should go with 7.

  8. hey russ, surfing in maui was a blast! i’ve been hitting the oregon coast lately (short sands). and there’s a rip tide there that takes you right out! just like a tow rope (or more like a choo choo train)!
