Pearl Harbor….beautifully sad. I’ve always wanted to go so when we had enough miles for a free stop on Oahu on our way home from Korea I took it. The tour was great. They took us to see some things in Honolulu and explained some Hawaiian culture and history. We had a native Hawaiian guide that was phenomenal. We spent almost 5 hours at Pearl Harbor. The water shuttle to the Arizona runs every 15 minutes so you get about 12 quietly, somber minutes over the ship to read the names and understand what really happened that day. Then we went to the Missouri. Because Harry Truman was President at the time that’s the battleship they signed the war to its end. We wandered around it for probably two hours looking at and reading everything. Then back to the park where there were movies to watch about what happened and tons of artifacts and articles from the war. Truly amazing stories. My daughter loved the history of it all and it makes what you read in the books really real! #pearlharbor #ussarizona #hawaiiwithmydaughter
