A nice day ending with a huge BANG!

First thing this morning (weds), after brekky, Halley and Dan headed to the chotsky stores and Jerry and I turned left, toward the beach, and hung out in the ocean for about 20-30 minutes…. So fun to just float there on our backs… After we got out, we decided to clean the sand off us with the beachside showers and then headed into the resort’s pool(s). Swam there a bit, swimming through overhead waterfalls then found our way to a couple chairs. Meanwhile, the dynamic duo are STILL chotsky shopping. That money will burn a hole in there hands if they don’t spend it quick! Eventually we hooked up for lunch.
We went into Lahania Town later in the afternoon and visited with Jerry’s high school friend Curt(and one of Halley’s favorite of her Dad’s friends). He owns “Jade Tiki” there in the town and has made Maui his home for years and year…. We will grab a meal together later during our stay! Halley’s scooter was quite nice for her….no more glistening as we went through town…. Course the rest of us were glistening…heehee! Dinner at “Cheeseburger in Paradise” while watching a beautiful sunset. Later, when we were driving home, there was heat lightening in the mountains … The last picture is of the Sheraton with the skies being lit by some lightening…. Alright… starting to ramble!

NEWSFLASH! I typed this last night before we went to bed. WELL, We were awoken at 2:30 with the loudest and longest lightening and thunder storm…. AND it last almost 2 hours…. Never had one last that long in my life…. I told Jerry, if we can’t be enjoying the snow, at least we have had a really cool (and safe) lightening/thunder storm…
