Each year, Jen and I take a couples trip together, just the two of us. This year, we chose one of the most paradisiacal places we’ve ever been to – Maui, Hawaii. (Here’s a video of it our 13-year old daughter Marie put together for us). Maui is so incredibly beautiful! The weather is just about perfect, with a misty rain that periodically falls throughout the...
