Day 2

We actually slept in later than I expected, til about 6 am (9 am home time). Usually we are up by 4 am or so on the first couple days. We decided to head to Makawao for a couple hours. It took about an hour or so together there with JT chattering or asking questions the entire time. Wow that kid can talk!

Makawao is the cowboy town on the island. There are a couple stores and an art gallery that I just love. First stop was Aloha Cowboy. It's a western store that has a hula girl wearing a cowboy hat, boots and a grass skirt, sitting on a surfboard as its logo. It's a really neat store with lots of cool logo gear.

We made a quick stop at Komodo Store and Bakery for what are supposed to be the island's best donuts. I'm not really a donut person but they were pretty good. After that we headed to the Piiholo Ranch Store. They also have cool western gear and clothing. JT wanted to buy out both western stores.

Last stop was the Randy Jay Braun gallery, which is one of my favorite parts about Maui. He does amazing photography ranging from hula girls to Hawaiian cowboys to sunsets. I could spend an unlimited amount of money there. There is a sign hanging near the cash register that says "Your husband called. He said to spend as much as you want.". I love it!

After that, we went to Cheeseburger in Paradise for lunch. No Lahaina shopping today.... We went back to the condo for some pool time and relaxation.
