Hawaii--day 10-


Welcome sign at the resort
We arrived at the Wailea Beach Resort at about one in the afternoon on day 10 of our adventure.

It was too early to check in. So we toured the grounds and plotted our strategy as to what pool we were going to swim in first! Miss K found a huge Jenga game. She, Auntie and her mama played a couple of games. Once a room was ready, Nicole had all our luggage delivered to it. Then, it was time for us to head out to dinner.

We ate at the Mill House restaurant. It is a farm to table sort of restaurant. The grounds are beautiful and the food was delicious!







Squash pizza, Farm salad and Taro leaf risotto

Ceviche and sweet potato chips

Bacon cheese burger, roasted broccolini and squash pizza

Hamburger, fries and catsup for Miss K

Chocolate pie is a great finish

I was most impressed with our waiter, Jared. Miss J has a dairy allergy and he was great about answering questions and filling us in on some of the history of the place. He provided great insight to how the dishes were prepared and made some suggestions that I'm glad we took.

While taking our orders for dessert, he fashioned a decoration out of a napkin and used
Napkin folded decoration
"Auntie's" glasses as the perfect accessory. We were all awed by his ability to remember what we ordered while entertaining us at the same time!

Best of all, he encouraged both girls to take a tour of the kitchen. Miss J liked watching the staff cook. When he asked Miss K her opinion, she said she liked it and that she was a cook too. Then she proceeded to tell him about her pasta and tomato soup recipe. After she finished her story, he replied that perhaps, they should add it to their menu to which she replied that the kids would like it!!!

We returned to the resort and our second room was ready. Miss K and Miss J wanted to go swimming so Auntie found which of the five pools were available to swim after seven in the evening. Amanda went too and lots of fun was had.

What a wonderful family vacation!
I’d love to visit Hawaii, but the long, long plane ride makes me hesitate.
Miss K looks very grown up in her mom’s hat:-)

Janice, Hawaii is a great place to visit. Long flights are tough on the body. The key is to sleep as much as you can. Once you arrive, stay up and have a normal day until you would normally go to bed. The jet lag can be brutal; but, pushing that first day has helped me. I often have a walk about planned after a shower and a cup of coffee!!! Miss K called it a fashion hat and that was her "fashion pose!"
