Oahu: Pearl Harbor

Sunday, January 2, 2011

We weren't very lucky when it came to weather during our trip. I guess that's what you get when you travel to Hawaii during winter (rainy season). But, for the most part, we didn't let the rain stop us......we just donned a few ponchos and kept going! Our first day sightseeing together, we went to Pearl Harbor and toured the USS Missouri and the USS Arizona Memorial. I highly recommend seeing both of them.

These pictures below are of the USS Missouri:




The coolest thing about the USS Missouri is that it was where the treaty was signed that ended World War II.


It was pretty sobering to watch the movie and visit the Arizona Memorial and think of all the people who died the day that Pearl Harbor was attacked. The memorial is built right on top of the sunken USS Arizona. You can still see a few parts of it sticking up through the water.
