Pearl Harbor Memorial

We have been busy!  And, the hotel's Internet has not been cooperating... So sorry that the blog has been a little slow for the past couple of days. I think I fixed it though; I changed the blog my phone uploads to, so hopefully I will be able to upload more pics today.  We've had a couple of nights free for dinner, so we've had an opportunity to "explore" the restaurants here a little more. On the night the kids did the scavenger hunt, some of the adults went to various "grown up" restaurants around Waikiki.

 The kids listening to our tour guide, "Auntie Bea" telling them the rules of the scavenger hunt. They had a good time, I think- They were given money to buy a disposable camera, then had to take pictures of things like street musicians (there are plenty) and other Waikiki novelties.

                               Ready to perform at Pearl Harbor yesterday, and waiting for the buses!

Listening to the tour guide at the Pearl Harbor Memorial. SUCH a great day! More to follow on that- want to get a bunch of pictures up, and I will put details up later.

The USS Carl Vincent was docked in Pearl Harbor this week. This is the ship that put Osama bin Laden's body out to sea.

 Memorial to the USS Oklahoma, one of the ships that was sunk in Pearl Harbor. The white posts represent the Navy servicemen, standing in their dress whites, saluting.
