Hawaiian vacation

My Tribal Turtle Tattoo -

harder than I thought it would be to take this picture, so not the best shot. I used the timer on my camera, but still had problems centering and getting close, but not too close. He's in the small of my back and from tip of nose to bottom of back flippers he's about 3 inches high.

Me with one of the street performers in Waikiki

View from the top of Diamondhead ... We made it!!! What a beautiful view!!!!

Are we there yet????? NOPE, only about 1/2 way there!!!

Much needed and deserved rest, so much farther to go

Phyllis and Ernie on the hike up Diamondhead. Phyl, did you REALLY hike all the way up there in FLIP-FLOPS????

Wes, partway up the Diamondhead hike

At the Polynesian Cultural Center

Rain pounding on the stage

Drenched Ernie and Phyllis

Happy 35th Anniversary Phyllis and Ernie

Anniversary couples dancing on the stage

Look at all the happy couples dancing :-) Can you spot Phyllis and Ernie???

Ernie and Phyllis by the Banyan Tree

And then there was fire by rubbing 2 sticks together

Are we back in Washington???? Nope, it doesn't rain THIS HARD at home!!

Hey Phyl, How can you smile???? Don't you see the rain???????

WHOA!!! IS THAT RAIN ON THE WINDOW??????

Waikiki Beach

View of Waikiki Beach from our hotel room ( yes, I had to zoom in to capture the surfers :-) ). Our hotel was about 2 blocks away

Little shopping mall across from the hotel
