We also visited the Valley of the Temples...it was located on the windward side in a japanese cemetery. It was quiet with the occasional ring of the 300 ton bell for good luck!

Ring that bell....

Spring Break

Its finally spring break! Wooohooo -- 2 weeks of no school! Emily has been visiting so we've been trying to get out and about a little and see some different places. We went up to Kailua beach on the windward side (windy for sure!) and also visited the Bishop museum -- history museum meets the science center.

Tornado.....in Hawaii?!?!?!

Yep...a tornado in Hawaii...Kapolei to be more precise, which isn't far from us at all -- about 10 minutes. It was surprising hearing it on the news!! Check it out

Who knew? Not me!

Fake Out...

So much for the huge windstorms with gusts of 50-60 mph. It WAS more windy than usual, but not as bad as they expected.

While we're here in StL. enjoying some cold/warm weather and some rain, back on the island people are without power. Apparently they had a big thunderstorm and the whole island of Ohau lost power for a while...slowly its coming back. Check out the article if you like. Looks like we missed the weather there, but we still get to experience the rain here in StL.

October revisited

A few from October when Tim visited. Better late than never!
