This is the dawning of the age of Aquarium... AQUARIUM!

We spent Easter Sunday morning at the Maui Ocean Center, the Aquarium of Hawaii.  I realize now that I'm really out of practice on the travel blog front. I usually have my laptop so I can really type, but I just have my tablet. Maybe I'll go back in and add more detail when I get home. But for now... We spent a lot of time in the reef exhibit and took roughly one million fish photos. I also took photos of the explanations so I could explain things here, but again, easier on the full computer. At any rate, the fish were stunning, and wild, and weird, and interesting.  After the reef, we were starving so we tried to pop into the restaurant. There is no popping. We put ourselves on the 75 minute waiting list and moved on to the turtles, baby sharks, and open sea tunnel, complete with mana rays and adult sharks.  Hunger got the best of us, so we opted for the cafĂ©

Maui!

How sad is it that it's been so long since I've traveled that I forgot I have a travel blog?!  I'm with my college friend Amy in Maui, my first real vacation since COVID shut us all down in March 2020. This is my first trip to Hawaii and we're just beginning our second full day... and it's Easter Sunday!  Looking out from our room, it looks to be a beautiful day. We started the morning with lavender scones and Maui Pie coffee from yesterday's outings. I'll back post about those activities later.  Today we plan to visit the Maui Ocean Center aquarium, a lighthouse, a beach, and possibly a farmer's market. Stay tuned!
