Barack Obama, Makapuu Lighthouse, Annual Traditions?
Just realized that President Barack Obama in Hawaii and hiking the Makapuu Lighthouse trail have been recent family traditions during December.
In December 2008, that Oahu-wide power outage precipitated the Lighthouse hike, and Mr. Obama was on the Windward side greeting people.
Better schedule these traditions for 2010 but skipping that blackout part.
Have You Ever Seen a Three-legged Dog?
The kids were mesmerized (and frightened) by a sighting of a three-legged dog on a hike up the Makapuu Lighthouse trail.
Props to the pooch for making it up the trail missing one appendage.
