Pearl Harbor

Today was a rainy, windy, day here on the island. All schools were closed and city offices as well. They were calling it a"Hawaiian Snow Day" I think that they just look for excuses here to have snow days because neither the wind nor rain was all that bad. We went to Pearl Harbor today and that was such an amazing, sobering experience. To be right on top of the wreckage of the U.S.S Arizona was unbelievable.



This is the exact spot that theU.S.S. Arizona was sitting at the morning that it was attacked by the Japanese.

This is part of the sunken ship that still sticks out of the ocean.

Some more wreckage under the water.

The Flag flies high and proud over the memorial.

I'm so glad that we were able to visit Pearl Harbor and go out to the memorial. I have always heard about the attack but to actually be in the exact spot that it happened just makes it so much more real.


Tonight we just messed around a little.

We have to get up super early in the morning to take a ferry over to Maui so we'll hope for less rain and wind and more sunshine tomorrow!
