                       OUR TRIP TO HAWAII


Our first vacation together was to the Hawaiian Island of Maui in February 2004. There we stayed mostly with Ron & Karla Martin (thanks guys!) and their girls Hannah and Lyra in government housing way up high in Haleakala National Park (HALE). Jeff had worked with Ron & Karla at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. After surviving cancelled flights and ice storms in Baltimore, Maryland, we finally got to spend over a week enjoying the island. These are just a couple of the pictures we took. Ask to see the rest if you come visit in September!

 

 

We found a cave while hiking in the HALE crater...guess who headed down first?!
