Maui Day 8 - Time to Go

We started our last day in Maui pretty early. We had finish packing everything and getting organized for our long trip home. Jeff and I also took the opportunitly to take some last minute pictures of Max. We took him down to the pool area and got some adorable pictures of him in his cute Hawaii outfits. I love the way they turned out. After that we took our last swim in the pool and then headed up to the room to get ready to go. Luckily, MAx napped while we got everything loaded up. We headed to the airport to start our LONG day of sitting around. Getting back took us around 19 hours, which included the 3 flights and a layover in Honolulu and Houston. It was an overnight flight and Max was perfect. He slept the entire 8 hour flight from Honolulu to Houston and the 2 hour flight from Houston to Birmingham. Needless to say, we were EXHAUSTED when we finally made it home. Grandma Brenda was at our house to welcome us home and Max was happy to see her. It was a WONDERFUL trip and I encourage everyone to go there one day. Start planning and saving now - it is so worth it. I am so glad Jeff and I didn't psyche ourselves out of tarveling with a one-year old. It was definitely different than traveling by ourselves, but the wonderful memories we made were worth every stressful moment! We can't wait until our next family vacation!

I need to find some new words for describing how cute Max is. I love his little outfits.
