Earlier this month my family and I took the most amazing vacation to Hawaii to attend a friend’s wedding. We spent a glorious and relaxing week on the island of Maui (I seriously did not want to come home). We stayed at the Marriott Wailea Beach Resort, which was absolutely lovely, and they took great care of us! The trip was just what I needed … A little rest, a little fun and lots of quality time spent together as a family!
Now that my children are a little older, it was especially fun for me to watch them run around and play, and just be together. Aden loves swimming, and he and my husband had an absolute blast together in the pool. The Marriott Wailea had one of the best family pools at a hotel that I have ever seen (now that I am a mom, hotel features like this are my new normal!). The hotel also had these awesome kids’ teepees you could rent that Aden and Ariah absolutely loved.
We made some really special memories on this trip. Their laughter playing in the pool was completely infectious, and I couldn’t wait until the next day when we would get to do it all over again. Life can get so busy, and this vacation reminded me of the importance of taking time off to be with my family without outside interruptions.
Every time I go to Hawaii I am reminded of what a special place it really is. I can’t wait until the next time we go back. I’m so excited to share with you guys the photos from my trip, I hope you enjoy them!
Let me know where your favorite places are to take a family vacation!

Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures and memories…. My husband and I talked about going for ages. I was always apprehensive, wasn’t thrilled about the idea of such a long plane ride. Tomorrow would have marked our 30th., my first anniversary without him. Looking back now, I should have just had a few drinks and got on the plane. Not that you need my advice, but always take the time to honor your marriage and family… it’s the little things you look back on that mean so much… you and your beautiful family looks like they had a great time! 👍🏼
beautiful
