We started off Day 4 with breakfast at the Farmer's Market which included grilled corn on the cob, fried green tomatoes and zucchini and other tasty bites. First stop after breakfast was to 'Iolani Palace. One of 3 royal palaces on US land.
We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the palace and we had to wear little booties to protect the wood floors.
I really enjoyed learning more about the country and present statehood of Hawaii. The Hawaiians were considered one of the most royal families in the world because they could trace their ancestry back farther than anyone else.
I love me a tour! The restoration was very well done. The palace actually served as the state capitol until 1969.
Next we headed over to Pearl Harbor to visit the USS Missouri.
I really wish I could have taken my dad on this ship. It was pretty impressive.
That's me in the black tank top and Mom is to the right. Gives you a little perspective as to how big those guns are.
A closer picture at the base of the guns.
This is the spot where War World II ended, the place on deck where the treaty was signed.
After our day of tours, we headed to a luau. There were many activities to participate in before the food was served. Gale is braiding a bracelet made from leaves with flowers tucked into the braid.
We all made one! If you are single you wear it on the right arm and if you're taken you wear it on the left.
If you look closely you can see Gale is making a lei by threading flowers onto a long needle. She really enjoyed all the activities. We moved on to see how they cook the pig for the luau and eventually got to eat dinner and watch some hula dancing.
