Pictures from O'ahu
Give me a break - I am SOOO behind on posting pictures!!
Here are some of my favorites from our trip to Honolulu (between Australia and our cross-country drive)
One of the beaches at Hickam Air Force Base where we stayed
An F-4 Phantom, like the one DH's dad used to fly (as seen at Hickam AFB)
DH hiking to the top of the Diamond Head Crater
View from Diamond Head
DH has to do some pre-graduate-school work (math during the summer - yuck! just kidding) so while he was working I decided to hit a beach one of my old neighbors told me about (thanks Kyle VL) - and found the beautiful Lanikai.
Mountains and beach - who could ask for anything more?
I heart plumeria
Paradise!
My view for a few hours...
Hike to see Makapu'u Lighthouse
Striking colors of Makapu'u
View from Makapu'u
See how the current is altered after hitting the two islands? You can kind of see how the waves curve to the left of the islands.
DH and I with Nuuanu Pali in the background
USS Utah - one of the ships hit at Pearl Harbor. They tried to recover it, but ended up tipping it over and it stands there to this day. DH used to have to navigate around it. It's on Ford Island, a Navy base, so not many people see it. We just walked right up to it (versus the hours you stand to see the USS Arizona)
I brought a lei and the current carried it toward the Utah
Utah memorial
It was good to be on O'ahu, but hard - it was so close to home, but so far away from Hilo...
