Day #7 - Thursday - The Cost of Freedom & The Aquarium

This is the tree that grows the flowers Adam and Jenni made my lei from.

Photo session at Ko Olina with Adam and Jenni on our way to our activities today.

Today we enjoyed spending time with Adam and Jenni. They spent the night in our extra bedroom and this morning, after sleeping in a bit, we toured some places together.
Next we went to Pearl Harbor and the Arizona Battleship Memorial. We watched a 23 minute film of actual footage and then took a boat out to the memorial. It was a good reminder of the cost of freedom. I hope that my children and grandchild remember that thousands of men and women have died for the United States of America and it is now our responsibility and honor to appreciate our freedom and keep it that way.
After Pearl Harbor we went out to lunch at the big shopping mall in Honolulu but I can't remember the name of the mall. We had delicious sea food with Adam and Jenni.\
Then we drove to the Aquarium. Jenni is a volunteer here once a week and we enjoyed her knowledge and sharing of information. I have over 100 beautiful photos from today but these are just a couple.

This Aquarium is also on the Waikiki beach. We took a quick glance and decided that we were so exhausted and Adam was going to be late to his new job at McDonalds so we headed back to the condo. It was another wonderful day but we are getting very tired. Tonight we plan to just eat dinner at our resort, enjoy the pools and head to bed early. We have a big day planned for tomorrow. We are having enough fun to last a lifetime.
