We spent a leisurely morning relaxing on the patio.
It was a bright sunny day so we decided to drive to Ka'anapali and walk the paved beach path down the beach. Ka'anapali is a the main resort area in west Maui made up of the 3-mile stretch of Ka'anapali beach which is lined with a paved beach path, shops, resorts and restaurants.
We were lucky to get a free parking spot at the Ka'anapali Beach Hotel--score! I wanted to stop at their Tiki Bar but it was already packed at 11:00.
We continued on and decided to stop at Hula Grill. Hula Grill has their Barefoot Bar right on the beach where you can actually sit with your toes in the sand!
I got a Plantation Lemonade which was refreshing.
Nick got a mai-tai.
We spent the day walking the beach walk and going in and out of the resorts that line Ka'anapali Beach.
We had lunch at a restaurant called Monkeypod. I got poke nachos.
We went next door and had yummy gelato at Ono Gelato.
Back at the condo, we had lava flows on the lanai.
We all took a nap and then changed to go to happy hour at Pineapple Grill in Kapalua. No one really cared for their drinks but at least the setting was nice.
Ben and I shared some pork nachos.
Dinner was at a new place in Napili called Kitchen5315. I got the macadamia nut crusted fish which was ok.
No one else really cared for this restaurant though so it was kind of a miss.
I was disappointed because it looked like we missed a great sunset but when we got back to the condo, we were able to catch the very end of it--very dramatic!
Tomorrow we planned to do some hiking in northwest Maui and have our fancy dinner at Merriman's!
