Oahu

We spent the days between Christmas and New Year's in Waikiki. It was nice to escape the chilly weather of the Bay Area although it was mostly overcast while we were in Hawai'i. The trip was our first with both girls and was also a fulfillment of Michelle's promise to her grandmother to show her Pearl Harbor. Click here for more photos.
