Day 8: Diving & Date Night
We started our day out early. AJ signed up for a shore dive with NeverDry Divers, a company he has dived with before, and has always had an enjoyable experience. Ayla and I dropped him off at his dive location around 645am and headed back to the condo for breakfast. While we enjoyed breakfast I worked on cleaning up the condo and doing some laundry. Mid-morning we headed the World Mark so Ayla could enjoy a pool day with her grandparents and I could get a workout in. This workout went WAY better than the last one, I felt very energized after. Once I was done working out I played in the pool until it was time for Ayla’s lunch. After lunch, we headed back to the condo for nap time. She refused to nap, so we had an hour of quiet time then did more play time around the condo. Around mid-afternoon we left Ayla with her Granny and AJ & I headed off for a date night.
We went to Kapalua to go to Merriman’s for dinner. This was one of the best meals I have had. They had their menu personalized to us, it read “Happy 10th Anniversary Kennedy Ohana!” at the top and every waiter that passed us congratulated us as well. They made us feel very special. The waiter was great at letting us take our time and enjoy the gorgeous setting. We ordered the Merriman’s Mai Tai for drinks, the Kalua Pork & Sweet Onion Quesadilla for an appetizer and we each had a seafood entree and a chocolate dessert. It was a magical meal, one I highly recommend on your next visit. It took us about an hour to drive there, but it was well worth it. When we got home we enjoyed some quiet time on the lanai and then headed to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a busy brewery day I think! Cheers!
