We took a once in a lifetime Christmas Vacation to Hawaii! Everything about this trip was awesome! We woke up the first morning there about 4:00 am local time and everyone was wide-awake – not adjusted to the time yet. We decided to adjust the schedule and make that first day our Pearl Harbor day so we could get there early. Worked perfectly and there was NO line. During our first trip to Pearl Harbor four years ago, Sarah and I had to wait in line for a few hours. They have redone the visitors center making the whole process much more manageable.

If you’ve never been to Pearl Harbor before, add this to your list. It’s a must see location. The experience was very moving. The girls are old enough now to understand the ramifications of what Pearl Harbor meant and World War II as a whole. This led to many more discussions as you can imagine.

These are just some of the shots that I captured that day. Enjoy!
