Last weekend was pretty laid back-- we started Thursday night by heading down to Hui E (a residential road in Napili) and out on the black rocks to try Mike's fishing pole. We didn't catch anything besides a gorgeous sun set and the rocks of Maui (he lost his hook under the rocks and it looked like he was catching the biggest fish ever!)
Reelin' in the sunset!
Friday night we went to Ruth's Chris, had great dinner complete with champagne (it was our 7 year 9 month anniversary-- just an excuse to go out!) and then we went to see My Best Friend's Girl. I liked it and I heard Mike laughing even though he claims "it was okay".
Saturday we both worked, but after Mike was done, we went down to Chang's Beach in Wailea to hang out and celebrate Hanalei's (Mike's buddy from work) daughter's birthday. She turned 4 and it was very much a true local style birthday party on the beach. All the tanned locals sat in beach chairs, the bbq never seemed to stop producing fresh oysters, teriyaki beef and Portuguese sausage, and the kids ran around bare-foot collecting baby crabs in their beach pails.
Our introduction to the group by Hanalei was great-- "HEY EVERYONE TURN AROUND!! This is Mike and Amber...and that's....the family!" Our night was filled with stories, jokes, and ukulele playing. I even saw a handful of shooting stars! Long after the sun sank into the sky, we drove home by the light of the moon.
Sunday-- Go Hawks!
A few pictures I forgot to post from our "adventure" to Hana.

Alongside the road were these little fruit stands-- you put money in the box and take what you'd like!
