Why you should go: Although I am not a history buff, I still love history.  I may not be able to tell you dates of past events, but I still enjoy checking out a history museum.  My favorite is the Hawaiian Hall. It gives you a glimpse into what Hawaii was like many years ago.  As I stare at the clothing, weapons, jewelry and other artifacts behind the protective glass my imagination runs wild; who used those items and how was life like during that time?  There are many things to see and experience here.  I would allow at least 3 or more hours for this visit.   I haven't been here in years so I don't have any pictures yet. To be continued...
