| Turtle Beach in Kona |
The Kilgore Family spent their Spring Break on Oahu and The Big Island in Hawaii. They spent time in Honolulu visiting Pearl Harbor. On the Big Island they were very adventurous and took in the sheer beauty and scenery. They made memories that will last a lifetime, and their pictures say a thousand words.
The highlights include:
- Seeing the Arizona memorial and the USS Missouri. We got to see the actual papers (instruments of surrender) that the Japanese had to sign to surrender. One of the tour guides gave some interesting details about the signing of those documents. When Japan's copy was signed the Canadian Colonel signed in the wrong spot and they had to do pen and ink changes on the spot to fix them. I was able to take pictures of the documents as well.
- We watched portions of the filming for "Hawaii Five-O" on the beach right outside our hotel as we ate breakfast.
- The kids got to see and swim with sea turtles at sea turtle beach. They actually swim right up by you without hesitation.
