We just spent the last week of June in Hawaii for my sister’s 50th birthday. It was a great family re-union. it was a great chance for our family to get together and for the cousins to hang out. We went surfing great tuna poke and sunsets on the North Shore.

We also visited the Polynesian Cultural Centre and the War Museum, cruised through a couple of missiles and went swimming with the turtles.

We visited the Pearl Harbor War Museum while staying in Hawaii the museum is a spectacular tribute to dear American war machine and showed us various types of weaponry including battleships jet fighter planes helicopters and submarines.

We visited the USS Arizona which was a spectacular battleship with enormous guns on the deck and impressive construction. There were some very good exhibits describing some of the battles that were held in the Pacific against Japanese bombers and the Japanese Navy

The fighter jets were also very impressive and it was interesting to see the evolution of military aviation over the course of several decades with examples of different types of fighter jets and helicopters that we could look at up Close. and touch.
