Hawaii Trip -- Hawaii Temple

after all of those heathenic beach pictures yesterday, I thought I better do the temple pictures next.  :-)

I think these pictures are from two different trips.  One trip where we were at PCC and took the bus tour to the temple.  And then another trip where I actually went and did a session in the Hawaii Temple.

What I remember most about the Hawaii Temple is how small it is.  Of course I was used to going to the big temples like Provo and Logan.  But the Hawaii Temple reminded me more of a church building, in terms of how small it was inside.

It was a wonderful opportunity to be able to go and do a session in the Hawaii Temple while I was there.

I can't say that it was the highlight of my trip, but I probably should say that :-)

Juliet in front of the Hawaii Temple

something must have been funny :-) not the best picture I've ever taken :-)

a much better picture of Juliet from the same angle.

I'm not sure what this is supposed to be showing.

there is that crazy pose again.

As a side note, I don't know why I'm not wearing the belt that goes with that dress.  Perhaps I was in a hurry and forgot to put it on.  Or else I might have figured that I'd just have to take it off anyway when I changed inside the temple.  I don't know.  But I wish I would have worn it :-) it looks very unfinished.  :-(

proof of purchase that Juliet was actually at the Hawaii Temple.  :-)

another picture of me sitting on the sign as proof that I was there :-)

the grounds are very lovely and well maintained as they are at all temples.

The skies look rather ominous.

self-explanatory :-)

me holding my temple bag.  That is the temple bag that I used throughout my temple going career :-)

me trying to do a cool pose, but not succeeding.  :-(

ditto.

So there you have my Hawaii Temple pictures.

Next up, how about the Dole pineapple plantation?
