Pearl Harbor & Dole Plantation {Hawaii:: Day 4}

We headed to the south side of the island today to visit Pearl Harbor. They have done a lot of rennovation to the area since I was there last time and it was really nice. We walked around the grounds while we waited for our time to board the boat to the USS Arizona Memorial. We bought a National Parks passport book at the book store to document all the sites we visit. I am excited to see all the places we can. It is amazing to hear the story of Pearl Harbor and the people who survived it. It made us even more thankful for those men and women who have and still do fight for our country.

On our way home Jenna and I decided that we couldn't pass the Dole Plantation with out stopping to get a Dole Whip. It was soo yummy and we even let Avalynn sneak a few bites in there, she was in heaven!


We came home and tooke naps (can you tell we are exhausted) and then headed out on a little bike ride. Avalynn loves being in the bike seat, this girl was made for being outside! We stopped at a beach and played in the sand and water for a while, I think she realizes that it can be fun now because she didn't hesitate at all to be in the sand!

Here are some pictures from our bike ride


A couple times while we have been getting ready or cleaning up dinner we have put Avalynn in her pack-n-play with some books and have found her sound asleep after a few minuets. She really must be so exhausted from everything, because she is not one to stop having fun to sleep!
