We showered and got cleaned up at the hotel after our time at the beach and left the hotel. We wanted to go to Pearl Harbor as our last stop before dinner and heading to the airport to fly to Kauai. Unfortunately we didn't pay attention to the times it operated tours! We got there at 3:30pm and the last tour out to the Arizona Memorial left at 3pm! :( So instead we walked around the visitor center grounds and did the audio tour on the USS Bowfin Submarine.

Boarding the USS Bowfin
We enjoyed learning about life on a sub especially because Brian's Dad served in the Navy and did tours on submarines. It was lots of tight and cramped spaces and very stuffy in there.
I made Brian get on one of the beds so we could see how it was like when his Dad had to sleep during his time serving on submarines. I don't think I would do well on a submarine! I'm too claustrophobic!
We walked this circle of plaques after our tour. It listed those who have lost their lives on submarines.
