In harbor, we saw the aircraft carrier, Reagan, which had just come in the day before. We couldn't see it up close, but it still brought patriotic feelings to my heart.
After we finished the tour we found a beach-side marketplace, the Aloha Tower, where there were lots of shops and restaurants. We found a place to eat called Gordon Biersch, then perused the shops.
All too soon, it was time to return the rental car, get on the shuttle and get to our individual departure gates.
My flight went off without a hitch. I flew to Kauai where I had a 2 1/2 hour layover. Then on to LA, arriving at 5 and then waiting for Gaye for an hour and a half. Karl picked us up and off we went to pick up Ruthie!
During the late morning time, we saw several rainbows, one was complete and so beautiful. I love rainbows. They are one of so many witnesses of God's reality.
Huge guns on the deck!
Gaye on USS Missouri deck- windy!
Look at the size of that chain!
This marks the spot of the end of World War II
The "bookends" You can see the Arizona Memorial in the distance. These ships face each other, one marks the beginning of the war and the other the end of the war.
A small rainbow!
I'd hate to be the one on the bottom!

Thanks for the comment.... I saw this poem.. and thought about Shannon....
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below,
With tiny light, like Heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
This sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it's beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart.
So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear,
An be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, "LOVE" is the gift, more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
For I can't count the blessings, or love he has for you.
So, have a joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
