Friday - April 17th - Pearl Harbor

After breakfast we went to the Pearl Habor/USS Arizona memorial. It was Emily's first time, my second. There is a little museum about the attack that we viewed while we waited for our boat to take us to the memorial. The memorial is above the final resting place of the USS Arizona. It was pretty cool, and the price was right - FREE! It was a hot day to be introduced to Hawaii.
You can see the memorial off in the distance above Emily's head.
America!
In the far room is the giant marble wall with all of the names who lost their lives on December 7th, 1941. Survivors of that day are also laid to rest there.
This is one of the gun turrets.
While we were there a lot of old while guys in white navy suits came on board and walked around. I really have no idea what it was all about, but thought I'd take a picture of them.
