Hawaii – Day Five USS Missouri

In order to get to the Mighty Mo, everyone boards a bus and drives out to Ford Island…

By the time we arrived we were getting hungry. A stop at the Pearl Canteen took care of that!

It was a big day! But we decided to watch the sunset above Honolulu before going back to Kailua for dinner…

We went out to dinner at a little restaurant walking distance from the Osbornes and had one of the very best meals we’ve ever had! Totally worth the walk and the 20 years of marriage! ;o)
