pearl harbor

tuesday we got breakfast at our hotel and took it out to the beach to eat  
then we rode a bus to downtown honolulu 
we saw the iolani palace and watched a video about it but decided not to take the tour
it was really pretty
 and hawaii's history is really interesting
 we thought these trees were so awesome
the vines go down into the ground and root themselves
 we caught another bus to pearl harbor
and got some ice cream
 we read about the history of pearl harbor and watched the video
so we could go out to see the uss arizona 


 hot dogs and nachos were the only lunch options there
but we didn't mind ;)

 then we bought tickets to see the uss missouri 


 we took the little tour
and then explored the ship ourselves


 and then after a super long bus ride, we made it back to our hotel 
and then hit the beach


 before swimming
 after swimming
 we went straight to tiki's restaurant hoping to get a good table with a view to watch the sunset
and we totally did
 the food was good, the sunset was gorgeous and there was an awesome band taking requests
michael asked them to play "country roads" because we don't have a special song :) 
 it was a great day
