NOT a good mix. You are close enough to do two semi-epic trips, I would do that. We are just so far away, if we are going to the east coast, we are going!!! I lived there (several states) growing up and I want to show them everything! <br /><br />Ps, when I went home from college when my fam lived on Oahu, I slept on a lanai, and there were geckos running up the walls frequently!kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01324277758948503337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-47914790985231401722015-11-09T15:27:40.789-05:002015-11-09T15:27:40.789-05:00Tiki torches!!!

I forgot to mention it in my actual post, but if you haven't seen it already, the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! is an incredibly accurate retelling of Pearl Harbor. It was a bit too dry for my two, so we gave up and only showed them the part of the movie concerning the actual attack, but they exclaimed at everything they saw, "Oh, the sonar operator! Grr, I can't believe that guy isn't taking him seriously! Ooh, this is the submarine scene!", etc. It was excellent reinforcement for all they'd learned at Pearl Harbor.<br /><br />I *think* that we're planning an epic east coast history trip next. Or, like, epic-ish? I almost feel like I want to study the Revolutionary War this year and do all the Revolutionary War sites this summer, then study the Civil War and go back to do the Civil War sites. That feels really silly, but my OCD LOVES the idea.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-13822851076881244702015-11-09T14:14:18.481-05:002015-11-09T14:14:18.481-05:00Just showed my boys, they thought this virtual fie...Just showed my boys, they thought this virtual field trip was awesome😉. I have a wwII geek here, and he wants to go there so bad! We are trying to decide on a Hawaii trip or an epic east coast history trip. We are all on the fence! But Pearl Harbor is why my redhead wants to go to Hawaii...until you mention Boston. Fun fact, I was married in Hawaii, and our reception was held on a hill overlooking Pearl Harbor! There were tiki torches on the lanai....sigh....kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01324277758948503337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-33956375421955112602015-11-08T18:34:00.457-05:002015-11-08T18:34:00.457-05:00And because you're military, y'all can eve...And because you're military, y'all can even drive onto base and visit parts of the memorial that we didn't have access to!juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-78936171697751456352015-11-08T14:41:59.223-05:002015-11-08T14:41:59.223-05:00You make me want to study WWII and make a trip to ...You make me want to study WWII and make a trip to Hawaii :0)<br /><br />Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.com
