Wedding Prep- Day 2 In Maui

Vince and I played chicken with the alarm clock as long as possible, but we couldn't stay in bed too long- we had places to go! We had a morning appointment that day to get our marriage certificate, we were moving to the vacation rental where our reception was to be held, and Vince's parents were arriving later that day. We had a small breakfast, took a long walk around the hotel grounds, loaded the car back up, and headed out.

No turning back now ;) I wasn't nervous though- just excited

Happy happy!

We didn't have much for breakfast, so we were hungry come lunchtime...

We checked our list of "places to eat" and were happy to see that this place

was on our way to the vacation rental. We were both jonesing for some fresh fish

Mixed poke bowl with bottled water, kimchee, and seaweed salad- delicious!

Perfect timing- we finished our lunch just as it quit raining. We

paid our bill and made our way over to Aloha Aku (the vacation rental).

 Our correspondence with the owners had been wonderful to date, 

so we were excited to meet them and check out the property.

The gated entrance

Stunning driveway

Charming canal next to the driveway

And the impressive first glimpse! The owners met us at the

door, gave us a tour of the property, and showed us to our room

Cute sign

The kitchen in our room- nice!

Our bedroom/bathroom area

Thoroughly pleased with our property find, Vince and I quickly unpacked and headed to the beach at the edge of the lawn. We were eager for our first walk on the beach!

I spied this on the way- a yarn bomb! Fun :)

Ahhh...

We spent about an hour walking the beach before Vince's parents arrived. We helped them unpack, gave them a tour of the property, and had fun catching up before heading off to dinner at Mama's Fish House... another great ending to another great day!
