another day in Paradise

Yesterday (Sunday) we went to church in the Honolulu Tabernacle. It was a beautiful setting with a reflecting pool, an enormous Banyan tree, flowers, and greenery.

Later we went to the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific or the Punchbowl as it is more commonly known.
Then a drive up Pali Highway to Pali lookout (again - but we had to show Todd and Jill the gorgeous views).

Then we drove to the eastern coast and stopped at this scenic view...
before continuing on to Makupu'u Point Lighthouse to watch for whales. We even hiked to the lookout. We actually saw many spouts, one tail, and a couple fins.



And finally, had this incredible sunset on the walk back down.

A beautiful ending to a lovely day!
