On Sunday we always attend the Makiki Ward at the Tabernacle in Honolulu. Rebecca ran into a missionary serving there from here. She knew him in Elementary school. There are several there from this area now. Ever heard the song "It's A Small World"?
After church we went back to the Hotel and fixed dinner, thank goodness Kerry now has a place to stay that has a real kitchen so that he (we) can fix a meal without having to eat out all of the time!
One of my favorite places on Oahu' is Punchbowl, a National Cemetery inside of an old volcano. The Memorial is for the veterans of World War II, Korean, and beyond. Of course I still try to figure out where my Dad served during the first time he was in the Pacific but still have not gathered any additional information. We didn't have much time before it closed but we got some fun pictures. I loved the sun peaking through the clouds and tried to be artistic but the sort of turned out.

These three definitely had fun being silly! It was fun to watch them.
This is looking out from the Memorial into the actual cemetery.
This is Kerry waiting for us to come down the stairs to keep us from getting locked in for the night! The cemetery was set up for a funeral of a soldier who had been killed in Iraq, coincidentally the first one the was filmed as the casket returned to the US after President Obama lifted the ban.
These three never stand still so Kerry and I were taking pictures of them from both directions.
We literally had to run and get in the car to beat the gate being locked.
