We've been before but still lots of things we haven't seen.
Our first stop after driving up through the sugarcane fields was the Maui Winery and the Ulupalakua Ranch. Try saying that after 3 margarita's!
After a wine tasting at Maui's only winery ( they grow grapes but also make a tasty pineapple wine),
we went stopped at Grandma's Coffee and bought some coffee to drink and some Maui grown coffee to take home.
We then went looking for the Kula Botanical Garden's but took a wrong turn and ended up at the lavender farm which happened to be next to big field that was used as a landing site for paragliders.
While watching them ,Karen met a little girl named Matilda who was with her mom waiting for her dad to land. Turns out Matilda and Karan are almost twins, they both have birthdays on Jan. 28. Matilda will be two, Karen won't.
We later found the botanical garden and enjoyed seeing all of the tropical plants and some birds.
They have some protea's which are included in most Hawaiian floral arrangements and there are also a pair of Nene geese that are native to Maui but extremely endangered. There are only about 1300 left on the Island.
We came home and did some pool time before heading to Bill and Olivia's for dinner.
