A Luv Story That Created Their Own mini “Brady Bunch”

Luv Stories of Maui Marital Bliss

I’ll have to think about our story. We are a blended family.

I have two boys 9 and 7 and he has a son and daughter 7 and 4.

With 4 kids and we also have a 2 yr old black lab husky mix.

Our life is pretty busy and crazy sometimes but it is also a lot of fun.

Always something going on between everyone.

Luv Story Blessing

Lisa & Matt created their own mini “Brady Bunch”.

Just like in a fairy tale Luv story…

Lisa looks like a princess and Matt…

The knight in shining armor…

Or at lest an Armani looking suit

The kids of this blended family naturally acted like

they were all best friends instead of the typical sibling rivalry you often see.

They joked, laughed, played and had fun…

All in a natural way.

They caught on naturally that acting grossed out

when their parents kissed made me laugh out loud.

A picture can tell the story of a 1000 words…

These photos inspired me to get other kids to do that ha ha…

But these kids did it naturally.

They all seem to be doing ‘Life’ as it should be…

“Pretty busy and crazy sometimes but it is also a lot of fun.”

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
