The Amazing Pearl Harbor

We spent quite a while at the Pearl Harbor Historic Site.  It is a very sacred place and we came to honor all Soldiers.  God Bless Them!



We took the ferry over to the site.
Leader of the pack.  He was anxious to tour this place....













This Gentleman is a Pearl Harbor survivor.. 

He was greeting visitors....





So many lives lost!






Made A Stop At Black Sand Beach

This beach was amazing.  The sand was course, black and just so different; remenants of  the lava.

Beautiful Beach.  



Flight To Hilo - The Big Island To See Volcano

We took a Hawaiian flight into the Big Island to take in the sights of an active volcano.  We left at 5 am and returned at 11 pm.  It was a fun filled day.  It was full of beautiful sights and adventures.  We had a great tour guide, too.  It was an hour flight




Almost there! 

Beautiful sights!


When we arrived at Big Island, we were greeted by this beautiful rainbow.  We missed the rain.
We are in Hilo - The Big Island

 We had our Helicopter Pilot waiting for us when we arrived.  I was a little nervous about but this was actually a great ride.  It was awesome.


 

We all enjoyed this ride...
 
Awesome view of the active volcano.

We are right over the volcano.  We could see the fire clearly.  Wow!

The Lava is seen streaming down into the ocean!




We are about to land.  Great tour!
 
We are taken to different parts of town.  Made a stop a this nice park.





We were taken to the lava burned areas.  This used to be a road, but now covered with lava.




This  is an awesome area.  Amazing views!


Many hot springs along the way.
