Here’s a peek into our family vacation in Maui last week. It was nice,… make that wonderful! We intentionally did a whole lot of nothin’ :). I’m so thankful for the opportunity to relax.
Now we’re rested up, pumped up and settling back into our cooking groove. Enjoy the photos and I hope they send a little sunshine your way! There are lots more delicious recipes coming soon!
The beach we walked to daily:
Selfie!! of-course 🙂
A boogie board is a MUST in Maui. So much fun!
And there was wildlife. This little guy was hiding in the sand:
We took this shot on a sunrise whale watching tour. Check out the whale video on my Instagram feed! We also had a dolphin swimming right along-side the boat for awhile. It was stunning and my son named him Flipper.
He planted one on Mama.
With the Mr.
Aloha folks! P.S. There is a tube top swimsuit there, you’ll just have to take my word for it. 😉

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Which hotel did you stay at? Any suggestions on a good hotel/beach in Maui?
We actually stayed at my parent’s time share. I don’t even remember the name of the place. You might check out vacation rentals by owner, or look for a condo that is rented out directly by the owner.
i love seeing happy family vacation photos! (I know, I’m cheesy lol)
This was a really nice post. Thanks for sharing this. LOVE your recipes by the way!
Nancy thank you! I love seeing the happy personal side of peoples lives also. I find that I click on those posts before I go to the recipes 😉
Lovely! My husb and I are HUGE nothing vacationers. We might pick a couple of things we want to see or do, but we mostly just go without a plan and wander around the whole time. So incredibly fun and restful. Glad you had a good time.
Isn’t that the best? Just doing a whole-lotta-nothing?! It is truly restful and it feels so spontaneous (which I’m not normally) 😉
Thanks for sharing. It looks absolutely gorgeous and a vacation in general sounds AMAZING!
Sounds like you’ve got alot on your plate to with the new addition to your family! God bless you my dear in all that you do!
Beautiful pictures Natasha 🙂 Looks like you had a lot of fun. Love to see healthy, happy families that love each other 🙂
Thanks Lea 🙂 So true. It blesses me to see strong families (a rarity in todays’ society).
Beautiful family! Looks like u had an amazing time!:)
Thank you so much Ira! You’re so sweet. 🙂
Aw, it looks like you guys had such a great time! Thanks for sharing the trip with us.
P.S Your blue dress is so pretty! 🙂
Thank you so much 🙂 I bought it for the trip.
Awesome….in 1994, for three weeks we based on Oahu and island hopped with Hawaiian Airlines hopper tickets…loved every minute….
Wow! Three weeks? Now that sounds like an adventure!
our 25th wedding anniversary was put off for three years using our funds to update a family home to sell (we did majority of the work to save $$) and when it sold, Hawaii was booked…first class TWA, they were running a sale that year, $650 coach or $1250 first class and they were the cheapest, everyone else was ‘much’ higher…only time we all flew that way, but hey, you need to ego boost sometimes in your life…I did my homework, used our time share and have to thank my husband’s third cousin for a wonderful Easter dinner at their family owned Outrigger Hotel…Hawaii can be expensive, but with digging around, you can find bargains…especially in the magazines in the boxes on the street…
Thanks for sharing your story. First class sounds nice! 😉 I agree, you have to shop around and try to go to the places locals visit. It is spendy there!
I LOVE your humor! 😉
Thanks Olga. It makes life easier 🙂
Great pictures Natash! Love them all. 🙂 Can’t wait till our family vacation 🙂
Thank you Veta :). Where are you going on vacation?
Beautiful pictures. Thank you. So glad you had a great time.
Thank you Liz 🙂 We really did, our son especially.
Awesome! We love Maui-Usually we stay at Grand Wailea
Love the Last pic of you and your humor lol
Haha thank you! Oh Grand Wailea sounds nice and fancy!
🙂 I was going to say, pretty dress. Than, O.. la la, naked pic… oh lol. Thanks for sharing beautiful pictures, they make me want to go somewhere!
I’m glad you enjoyed them lol. I think vacations should happen monthly but then I’d never get any blogging done 😉
