Nick and Ali in Maui 2018

The kids and Molly spent 5 days with Mimi, Papa and Uncle Jamie at the cabin while Nick and I got away to Maui.  We stayed in a beautiful condo at the Mahana in Kaanapali Beach on Maui.  We spent the time resting, relaxing, running down Kaanapali Shores snorkeling and eating, it was good for the soul!  









Kimo's in Lahaina is probably my favorite restaurant!


Mama's Fish House!








A little visitor as I was reading my book on the lanai.

We drove to Napa on a whim to see my favorite author, Emily Giffin.  She signed all of my books!  Her daughter, Harriet, was there, too, and she helped Emmy pick out a new book to read!

Julia made Emily's instagram page along with the homemade Disney Princess autograph book that she brought to have Emily sign.
