We celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary on 11/11/11 this year. A couple months prior to the date, we discussed the possibility of staying at a hotel to celebrate, but our 1st choice hotel didn't have Kama'aina (local) rates available. We forgot to tell my mom our plans changed, and wouldn't be staying at a hotel anymore, so she asked Wednesday night before Veteran's day. Well, I decided to double check- low and behold- Kama'aina rates available! Thanks to Grandma Carol and and Gammie for watching our kids for a night (Cade went to Grandma Carol's and Kenny stayed with Gammie).
Sunset on the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort (KOR). Do you see the rainbow between the palm- in the clouds. We stayed here one night, 3 years ago, on our Christmas trip home with Cade. Check it out here
Studio- small kitchen and large bathroom!
Enjoying our night out together + good food: Pineapple upside down cake! SOOOOO GOOD!
We were both so tired, plus I had a cold, that after dinner we just enjoyed watching TV without kids crying/fighting!

| The main reason we wanted to stay at the KOR was for the kid pool. What kid wouldn't want to play in a pirate ship pool! The surrounding water is 8-18" so C & K loved it! Our moms brought them out the next morning to join us for a day of sun! There's a few different pools on property-depending on your age. We tried going to another pool with a big, winding slide, but Cade was too small to go on! Oh well, just another reason to go back! |
We rode down the slide! The weather wasn't the greatest- this is usually the HOT side of Maui, but a small storm brought in some light showers and wind! But, the kids were troopers and enjoyed spending time in the pool for the morning.
Kenny wasn't too thrilled about the slides. Especially after we both unexpectedly went under water on a smaller slide (see pic below- there's a tunnel slide behind Garrett's head). She kept shaking her hands and saying "all done! all done!"
