It has always been a dream in our hearts to visit and pay our respects to Pearl Harbor. Last month our son-in-laws sweet sister and fun husband gave us the this gift, by being our hosts for the day to get us around Oahu......VERY KIND GIFT!!!!
The night before, they picked us up at the airport and took us to their lovely home with beautiful accomodations for the night. EARLY the next morning we were on our way to Pearl Harbor!!!! Within 5 minutes on the freeway, both of us knew we could have never tackled the traffic on our own!!! THANK YOU K FOR ALL OF YOUR DRIVING!!!!! :)
The pictures are just a peek into the sobering realization of what a dear friends husband said after we got home.......FREEDOM IS NOT FREE!!!!!!!
We sent Mike and D to purchase the tickets to get on the Arizona Memorial and then were able to so enjoy the Book Store! So much to see and take in! As you can see from the pictures we must have brought the rain from the Mid Willamette Valley! :) Did not dampen our day in the least! How we can ever thank K and D........they were the sweetest couple and so special to get to know them!!
