On Wednesday, Liz, Joe and I climbed Diamondhead and it was awesome! It is a moderately easy hike with a fantastic view. They loved it! We met back at the Hilton and drove towards the Polynesian Cultural center but stopped at a hole in the wall restaurant called Uncle Bobos and we all loved it! It was a BBQ place where the pork shoulder sandwich was highly recommended. Then, Debbie and Joe dropped Liz off at a nearby beach, but I can't remember the name of it. It was more of a camping beach then a lay out beach because there was driftwood everywhere, but still very pretty with the mountains on either side. Debbie and Joe love to drive around looking at new places, so they explored toward the north shore and found Waimea Falls. I've driven past there and it looks beautiful.. Well definitely go back another time. After the came to pick us up, we drove back to the north shore to the food trucks! They loved Giovanni's Shrimp Truck and their shrimp scampi. On Thursday, we did Pearl Harbor. Debbie booked a tour bus through Polynesian Adventure Tours and we got picked up around 6:45 to get to our 8:45 time slot for the USS Arizona. I recommend buying the audio tour for $7.50.. I learned a lot! After the memorial, the bus brought us to the Missouri ship to walk around. Our bus driver recommended not doing a tour here because you can cover more ground without it and I agreed with him! There is a lot to see! The tour continued to the Punchbowl Cemetery and Honolulu, but Maj picked me up to go to the hotel and get Dan! We had dinner last night with Dans family and Mitch and Maj at the Yardhouse. It is a chain restaurant in Waikiki that has over 100 beers on tap and a HUGE menu.. Burgers, salads, seafood, everything! Great night!
