Paradise

Hello internet...Grayson's mom here. Just wanted to post a few pics from our wonderful trip to Maui! We stayed at the Four Seasons on Wailea Beach. Below are a few pics of the resort. I highly recommend it to anyone in the midst of planning a trip to Maui. It was absolutely gorgeous. The grounds were immaculate; the service impeccable. In addition, the 'little' things they did went a long way. We recieved fresh flower leis and delicious desserts upon our arrival. At the pool and on the beach, waiters served ice water and lavendar scented cool, wet wash cloths. On our wedding day, they sent us a congratulatory bottle of champagne. Plus, every night, we received turn-down service with slippers placed next to our bed. A girl could get used to this lifestyle! And if that's not enough to convince you, Justin Bieber was staying there at the same time as us. The Bieber!! I bet you are sold now ;)

























































































































I think one of my favorite parts of the trip was the food! Working in the foodservice industry with a bunch of 'foodies', I've been exposed to the cream of the crop of restaurants from all over. I have to say that Maui did not dissapoint. The resort had awesome restaurants...most of them overlooking the water where we enjoyed the sunsets. On our last night before catching our flight home, we stopped in the small town of Paia at Mama's Fish House. Go there! You will not be disappointed! To our surprise, we were set at a table right next to Carlos Santana. This was a real treat for Todd who is a big fan. Sorry for the bad quality, but it was taken 'non-chalantly' from my cell phone.
