Day 4: Pearl Harbor/ Pool/ Lanai

Yesterday we went to the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. I took lots of pictures and one video but even though it was sad, it was also cool being over the ship where the brave servicemen used to be. These are pictures of the Memorial Center and the U.S.S. Arizona.

View from the center


From the wall of people who died in the attack




The next three are copies of newspapers from the time of the attack.








Here are some pictures of us at the Memorial Center.

Here is a video of the wall of the names of people who died. The first bit is of soilders who lived but when they died had chosen to be buried with their brothers in arms. I know that you can't read it very well but look at the amount of names.

On a lighter note, here are some pictures of the pool and the lanai.

That's all for today. Tomorrow- Pictures of Kailua Town and a local treat, a plate lunch!

Days 2 and 3: The House, The Beach, and The Mountains

I would like to start by saying that I somehow had a brain fart and I forgot to take pictures of the most important parts, the pool and the covered lanai!! Well don't worry b/c I will take a picture of them today and they will be on my next post. Well the title really describes what I took pictures of. I would like to note that pictures of me were taken by my mom. So, lets start w/ the house. These pictures I think are pretty much self explanatory.

Now here are some pictures of different beaches we went to.
















The following are pictures of mountains and palm trees.

That's all for those 2 days. Tomorrow- pictures of Pearl Harbor!

Day 1 Picture Blog: We're finally here!

These are pictures from the plane. I was really groggy all day yesterday b/c I had to wake up at 4 in the morning to catch the first plane. Note: there are no pictures of my dad b/c he was unconscious the whole time.



I made some really silly faces!









My mom was really tired too butshe hid it better than me





These are some pictures of the islands.

So.... When are we leaving?

So I think you should know that I now have my netbook and I am posting from it right now. But the bigger news is that I am going to Hawaii in 3 days!!!!!!!! I am also going to post pictures every day of the beach, my famiy at the beach, and the different beach houses. I wish that is was the 20th b/c I am going to go crazy. I know that I said we are going in 3 days but that is only technical, I'm not sure that I am going to count Monday in my long, long wait b/c that is the day that I am packing and going to bed early so we can wake up at 4 or 4:30 so we can catch our first plane which is at 7! I am also excited b/c I am going to take my netbook on the trip! Well I should probably go now and fantasize about the crystal clear water and the warm sand on the spectacular beaches.
