Maui! North Coast Drive

One of our biggest adventures while in Maui was our road trip around the North Coast of the Island. It is breathtakingly beautiful, but also about the most windy & narrow road on the edges of sheer cliffs. We took this road last year with Kaden & he threw up everywhere so this year we left him at the house with the other weak stomachs.

One of our first stops along the way was at this great blow hole area. It was a bit of a hike down to it in slippery sandals on very sharp rocks, but so worth it.

Brian & Brad getting a closer look at the blow hole...

hmm... it's really starting to blow...
and that's when it got Brian.
Soaked!

There were lots of wave crashes besides the blow hole so we were all pretty much soaked.

Brad & Mary climbed down into this wide basin.

He's never satisfied untl he's done something that has me calculating his life insurance.

See all that water behind him? Covered in crashing waves against sharp rocks? That's where he was standing just moments ago just begging to be washed into the ocean.
So proud he's alive.

Dave being brave.

Brittnee didn't join us because she gets car sick too easily so we had to make sure Dave made it back & didn't fall off into the ocean somewhere.

See, this is how you pose with a blow hole, unlike Brian.
The road trippers taking a break.
