Jessica and I visited the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. We took a tour and visited the museum which also showed a movie about the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The docent working during our visit was a Hawaiian man who was only 6 years old when Pearl Harbor was bombed. He told Jessica of how he remembered a plane crashing down behind his house and how he saw people running everywhere. It really made Jessica think about the days events and how everyone was effected that day by the tragedy.

This is Jessica in front of the wall memoralizing all the soliders who died on the USS Arizona after it was bombed.

This is a picture of the Memorial as we approached it from the shuttle boat that takes us from the museum out to the sunken ship.

Jessica got a very special treat when the boat's captain took her up to the front and talked to her one on one about the significance of the USS Arizona. She was a little shy at first, but then realized how special our day at Pearl Harbor really was!

This is Jessica posing with the boat's captain before we left for the day!
