Island Hopping

A few weeks ago, my hubby took me to Maui to see NOFX in Lahaina. It was another short trip sans keiki. It is amazing how refreshing a 24 hour trip can be.  Other then the phone call from my mom at the ER (three stitches for Mr.L!!!!) it was like being 19.

A little backstory: I have known my husband since I was 16, but he gave me his number when I was 19 backstage at a concert.  NOFX played that day along with a bunch of other 1999 bands (The Offspring, AFI are all I can remember…).  Every time we run away to catch some band we love, I feel like we are that young again.

berhp_6414The next morning we got up and had a walk around the property of the Royal Lahaina Resort.  It is a great inexpensive place with cottages spread out over a lush oceanside property.

berhp_6434Even the plants were having fun.  ;)

berhp_6493Just before landing in Honolulu, I spotted Keehi Lagoon.  This is a place I called home for about 6 months when I was a kid.  My crazy parents bought a yacht when I was in the third grade.  That story is for another time…..

Fantastic in flight photo...how you manage to get such beautiful photos out of a plane window ill never know. Silly question but that plant...thats real? The colors,its crazy! I hope you both had a wonderful 24hrs away from the kids..hoping Mr L is ok aswell after the stitches. Loving the new blog look btw!

Amber - The cloud picture is absolutely beautiful! Amazing as always - love the new look on the blog!

marina - thanks benj!!! megan! my hubby must be a genius because he thought of wrapping my hand and face with my black sweater to eliminate reflections in the double window. i looked like a crazy person but i didn't care. also, flying in the front on the plane helps. ;)

megan - how the HELL do you get such great photos from an airplane!!??? i totally enjoyed this post btw, NOFX was my favorite band in high school, my boyfriend at the time was a total punk and my parents were so upset. :) It takes me back.
