What an amazing day we had on Friday, Dec. 7! Morning hunting for our son and daughter-in law's first home and making an offer with Dad, their realtor, in the afternoon! Parting company so the kids could attend their church Christmas party and Kent and I going to The Cheesecake factory in Waikiki, to enjoy Chicken Madeira and a slice of original cheesecake was our time to unwind. As we strolled...
back to the Royal Hawaiian where we parked, we noticed that the roads were blocked only to happily discover that the Pearl Harbor Day parade was about to begin. We had seats from a perfect vantage point and enjoyed all of the visiting bands from the mainland, the local armed services and of course our beloved, Royal Hawaiian Band! The Polynesian Cultural Center wowed the crowd with their amazing dancing and singing as did the Chief's Luau with fire knife dancing. It was the show of shows. We are so blessed to live in Hawaii, to be able to enjoy the glam and glitter of Waikiki and still live in the country near the North Shore. To honor our fallen soldiers and those still fighting for the freedom and values we hold dear is not the least of those blessings. What a way to start the weekend. We are slow to get the Christmas decorating done. though. Our rooftop airplane and landing strip needs more work! We'll miss being able to fly over the city to enjoy the Christmas lights, taking our little tours with friends and family again this year. Four more years of no fly zone and interrupted income for our sons' business. Thanks a lot big O.
