Pearl Harbor + Halona Blowhole

This morning Evan and I had our daily trip to Starbucks, the playground and Eggs N Things to pick up breakfast. Then we came back to the condo to get Jon, and we all drove out to Pearl Harbor.

Unfortunately, the wait for the presentation and ferry ride over to the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor was almost 3 hours, so we just walked around the harbor taking pictures and looking at some of the other displays of guns, the USS Bowfin Submarine, torpedoes, etc. and skipped the ferry ride over to the USS Arizona Memorial.

Evan enjoyed the guns and the old submarine tower, which he was convinced was a "tunnel".

On the drive back to the condo on the H1, Evan fell asleep, so we decided to keep driving east past the condo and find something interesting. We stopped at the Lana'i Lookout (another Lost filming location, and very beautiful), and the Halona Blowhole. From the lookout for the Halona Blowhole, you can look down and see Halona Beach, the location of the famous roll-in-the-beach scene from the movie "From Here to Eternity". You can actually hike down some rocks quite easily and get to this secluded cove, but Evan was sleeping in the car, so Jon and I had to take turns getting out to check out the scenery.

We're going to look for some more hiking locations for tomorrow. It looks like there's an abandoned road you can hike a few miles further down 72 East (the H1 turns into 72 East) called Makapuu Lighthouse Road.

Lunch was from Cheeseburger Waikiki today, just around the corner from the condo. The cheeseburgers were quite tasty.
