Reminders of warmer days

It is really cold here. Yesterday the weather said it would feel like -1 degree Fahrenheit. Needless to say, I'm freezing. Now that I think about it, Mark was checking the weather before we left after Christmas, and the world report showed it was colder in Salt Lake City than the South Pole.

So in an effort to remind myself that somewhere it is warm, here are a few more pictures from Hawaii. It'll be kinda like the slideshow that your great aunt Myrtle used to make you sit through after she got back from her month long vacation to Branson, Missouri, but more interesting. And a whole lot shorter!

This is us arriving. We got beautiful leis from Mom & Dad when we got to the airport, then went straight to Waikiki to have dinner with Mark & Ellie at Duke's.



This is the USS Arizona Memorial. It was pretty busy, but well worth the wait to get there. It is an amazing place. And people are wearing shorts... that won't happen here until June, at least!



At the Memorial, there is an amazing wall of all the names of those who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor.



Will and I ordered a strawberry drink in a pineapple at the Polynesian Cultural Center during the luau. I wouldn't dream of drinking anything colder than room temperature right now for fear of hypothermia.




We ran into everyone's favorite Knight Rider... well, I'm actually not a fan of "The Hoff" at all, but it's a funny story to tell! I would rather meet KITT than David Hasselhoff, but oh well. Don't you love the jacket around his waist... did he get stuck in the 80's? Maybe his fashion sense didn't progress... just like his career in acting. Also, I just noticed he's wearing more pink than I think I've ever owned.



I couldn't end on a picture of him, so I thought I'd include another flower picture. This was growing in Mark & Ellie's back yard, and I fell in love with it. I'm thinking it may be good enough for my next photo competition. Any input?
