Hawaii Trip, July 2004

Our vacation in beautiful Hawaii! It begins on the island of Oahu. A trip to the ocean floor in the Atlantis submarine was really exciting. We also visited the Pearl Harbor memorial, the Dole Pineapple plantation, and the North Shore. Parasailing just off Wakiki Beach was great fun. We then went to the island of Kauai. Kauai proved to be as beautiful as its nickname, The Garden Isle. We went on a Catamaran sail/snorkel cruise, and we went horseback riding. All in all, a vacation of a lifetime!
