"I Climbed Into Bushes to Take These Photos"

I'm fairly certain the title of my post says it all. ;) I climbed into bushes to take these photos, and I'm glad I did, because it was quite the tropical background for my look today. 

I spent another day sunning myself beachfront, and then spent the rest of the afternoon developing my sunburn. (Yes, burn. My entire body is burned. I apply SPF 50 like it's my job, so this is quite the disappointment. I'll need to stay in the shade tomorrow!) 

After a day in the sun, we drove to Lahaina for some delicious dinner (and malasadas - Portuguese donuts - for dessert) at Star Noodle!

Photos of Hawaiian landscape will never get old, right? Good...

{can you see the rainbow in the center?!}

And on another note...

{my overly ambitious summer reading stack! by tomorrow, i should be about 2.5 down!}

{udon + pad thai!}

More to come… I have another 5 days here!

Aloha!

I'm in Hawaii for the next week on one of my wonderful mother-daughter trips, and I figured, if I don't share the absolutely beautiful scenery and vacation wardrobe with you all, I'd be committing a blogger crime! ;) 

We arrived mid-afternoon Tuesday, settled in, and made sure to grab some Hawaiian-style shaved ice - I got passion fruit orange/guava/mango flavor over vanilla ice cream with fresh mochi! YUM! 

We spent Wednesday sunning and reading by the pool, overlooking stunning Kihei Beach and Maalea Bay, and then went out for yummy Mai Tais and tasty Hawaiian gelato last night! (I got the "Sandy Beach" flavor - peanut butter gelato with coconut candy & graham cracker crumbs! Yummmm.)

Can't wait to keep you all posted with my resort wear (haha), cloud photos, and tasty treats!
