USS Bowfin museum

Posted by Heather on Feb 25, 2008 in Family, Love, Travel | 2 comments

The thing I liked best about this–aside from watching my boys command a sub for nearly 40 minutes–was that the exhibit (which was shabby by today’s hi tech standards) was actually salvaged and reconstructed by former crew mates specifically for this museum. I just thought that was spectacular. And, as per my ‘hi tech’ comment above…seriously, what more do boys need than a bunch of levers that move, switches that flick, and two wheels that turn? I mean, really. If it had gone BOOM occasionally they would have never left.

I loved it.

Deeply perturbing irony?

Our digital camera broke.

There is no money to replace it.

The guy at the camera shop holds out very little hope for it.

So the rest of the Hawaii Trip will be relegated to cell phone pics (not horrible, but not great) or 35mm (which isn’t bad for life, but bad for blogging and bad for being sure you ‘have that shot’!)

Ah well…

Here’s what the kids did today:

Northwest shore…we spellunked around and looked at (minor) tidepools. Muddy due to the soggy weather, nonetheless beautiful though.

Banzai Pipeline competition…in the rain. I didn’t get the crazy 5 year old (!) who went out in a wet suit as we were leaving. The waves were, actually, much MUCH bigger than they look here.

Some gorgeous Southeast shore and…BLOWHOLE!

Southeast short too, near Hameahumehumahumahuma Bay where we’ll go snorkling soon. You probably can’t see the Humpback whales cresting and spouting in the distance. But they were there. Many many of them.

After this we tried for naps (HA!) and work (sigh) and then sat on the beach with the kids looking at the glorious surf. I watched more of the storm roll in–what a luxury to get to just sit and watch the kids play and not worry about anything else. At all. Spectacularly happy people in a spectacularly gorgeous place.

Paradise.
