On Saturday morning we got up and headed for Pearl Harbor. Roger loves airplanes, Mitchell is a history buff, and Nicholas likes boats and big guns, so we had to go. We ended up spending most of the day there, except for a break at lunchtime when we went over to the flea market at the nearby stadium to get souvenirs. The boys liked the USS Missouri, or "Mighty Mo," and Naomi's favorite was the USS Bowfin submarine. We also saw the Arizona Memorial and museum, the submarine museum, and the aviation museum. It was all very interesting, and Mitchell got lots of good information he can use when he takes US history next year.
In the evening, we drove into Chinatown in Honolulu for dinner. We found a great little restaurant with delicious Chinese food for dinner. Naomi said it was almost as good as Panda Express.
