Hawaii

We are in Hawaii!!!!  Yesterday we left Dallas and got to Hawaii around 5:30 Hawaiian time (9:30 Dallas time).  We were STARVING, so we ended up eating dinner at Taco Bell.  The hotel room dad got us was in an old hotel that was built around the1960's.  At least Kylie and I got our own beds.  The hotel is on the main road (next to the beach).  This morning we went to Pearl Harbor.  After going in several museums (and talking to some Pearl Harbor survivors) we watched a documentary about the Pearl Harbor attack.  Then we got on a boat that took us to the USS Arizona memorial.  The USS Arizona was one of the many ships that sunk during the Pearl Harbor attack.  It had the most casualties with more than 1400 dead.  The memorial was built over the Arizona right where it sunk.  We could still see the oil raising up from the sunken ship.  This afternoon Kylie, dad, and I all went to the beach.  I caught lots of hermit crabs and we found an eel in the rocks.  Then we went back to the hotel room, got mom, and then we all went out for sushi!  We went to a small Japanese place where you have to sit down on mats and eat.  It was VERY uncomfortable.

  1. I am going to be following your adventure each and every day. It was wonderful to have seen you all on Christmas Eve.
    Enjoy the warm weather. It was 13 degrees here in Dallas today.
