You picked a good time to go-our first bit of cold this year.<br /><br />I loved biographies when I was a kid and Liliokalani was one of the ones I read over and over. I loved her name!<br /><br />I think you're taking the best kind of vacation of all-restful.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29452093.post-12944652328733383052009-12-07T22:41:57.855-08:002009-12-07T22:41:57.855-08:00And whether it's touristy or historical, you a...And whether it's touristy or historical, you always put such a great spin on it!

You picked a great time to go. Today the high temperature was 30. Farenheit. As in below freezing. As in wear a padded bra or risk poking someone's eye out kind of cold.Heidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10409844966813816495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29452093.post-57513023581926645092009-12-07T13:00:43.162-08:002009-12-07T13:00:43.162-08:00I am surprised that they quit allowing photography...I am surprised that they quit allowing photography inside altogether.

Did you know that as a proof of concept Edison's first project was to provide electrical power to a local Indian reservation? It's a wonderful story.Luciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02344151648498823945noreply@blogger.com
