A Week in Paradise

We've just finished a very enjoyable week with friends and relatives as part of our home leave for 2007. George and Ann Tucker, parents of our daughter-in-law Katy, generously invited us to join them and their family at a Marriott timeshare at Ko Olina on Oahu. Some of my favorite pics of the week:

Jeff and Katy aboard a catamaran, en route to a snorkeling site.

Doris in front of Waimea Falls, which she later swam under.

We fed hammerhead sharks in a pool from behind a protective barrier. . .


. . . and handled a variety of unusual sea creatures.

Several of us toured the USS Missouri, the last (and biggest ever) battleship and the site of the Japanese surrender to end WWII.



. . . and we all watched from the comfort of a beach as Katy's niece Beth and her friend Sarah took surfing lessons.
