This was Mark’s day he had been looking forward to. We took a bus tour to Pearl Harbor. When we arrived we watched a short film about the attack. We then took the boat out to see the USS Arizona underwater. There isn’t much that you can see, but there is a list of names of all those lives lost that day. Some 2,000 men died trapped in the USS Arizona. There was a silence as hundreds of people stood and observed. There are still tiny bits of oil that leak from the ship. Our tour took us on to the USS Missouri, which you could walk on and explore all the nooks and crannies. It was very neat to see. It sprinkled on and off throughout the day. It was a bit cool, when you got wet it was cold.
We ate our dinner at the Outrigger hotel across from us. This was a very expensive classy restaurant with a long wait. This was the $45/person steak meal. Not something we would ever do again, but in Hawaii that was part of the experience.
It was rainy to the point you needed an umbrella. I brought several cute dresses I couldn't wait to wear for our evenings out. You don't get to do that very often as a mom and living in Iowa. I was determined I was going to wear a little despite the rain so I froze.
