We started by walking to the bar next door, which I read had pretty good breakfast. Let’s just say they had breakfast, it did the job and my French toast was actually really good. But the sunny side eggs Deb ordered were pretty slimy and I didn’t even have any of those.
After breakfast, we drove over to Pearl Harbor. The first thing we did was go on the USS bowfin, which is a submarine from World War II. We got to go inside the sub and walk around and see just how tight everything was inside there. I can’t imagine being hundreds of feet underwater in one of those things.
The next thing we did was go on the USS Missouri battleship, and this was really cool. The Missouri is where the Japanese signed a surrender agreement and World War II was officially over for everybody. You could stand right on the spot where the agreement was signed by the Japanese and see pictures of the event. You can also walk all over the battleship and get a good feel for how the crew lived. It’s amazing how big that ship actually is and how big the guns are as well.
After the Missouri we got on our boat to go over to the Arizona memorial. This is really something to see and experience. It’s just weird to know that so many bodies are underneath you as well as a ship as big as the Missouri that you were just on. This is a very good memorial and I’m glad we’re able to see it. After Pearl Harbor, we headed to Dixie’s Southern Barbecue and Grill, as we were ready for some non-Hawaiian food. This was actually a pretty good barbecue place and I’m glad we found it on the way home. We stopped at a Walmart, Kendal suggested that this is actually the best place to find some cheap souvenirs. So we picked up a few things and headed home to our hotel.
