Last evening, we shared our final family dinner together at the Hula Grill before Michelle, Kyle, Lyla, Emmy, and little Gus headed to Kahului Airport this morning for their return home to California. Goodbyes are never easy
We had also enjoyed the Hula Grill last week with Jason, making this dinner a fitting and meaningful bookend to our time together
The girls were happily focused on two things all evening—the mesmerizing hula dancers and the island favorite, Hula Pie .
We began the night with a group photo in front of the sandcastle created by local artists in the lobby of the Marriott Maui Ocean Resort and ended it with another group photo in front of the beautifully lit giant Christmas wreath outside the back exit of Whalers Village. A perfect Maui ending to a week filled with love, laughter, and treasured family memories .
