Air Force's 60th Anniversary

This week in September culminates the commemoration of the Air Force's 60th Anniversary with many amusing activities. The base community center had a fun day planned for the kids, so Abigail tumbled on mats, assembled trail mix, received a flag tatoo, attempted the hula hoop, created a button, played several cute games and accepted fun freebies like a patriotic Beanie Baby.



That evening, we drove to Waikiki with some of our Wyoming friends who are now stationed here, hoping to see a Tops in Blue (AF band) performance. However, we mistook the park at which they were playing, so we ended up taking in the sights, sounds and tastes of Waikiki nightlife. Every weekend (and most weekdays), one can view street performers, shop numerous kiosks and stores, taste ethnic foods and overhear live bands playing at various bars and restaurants; we even caught a hula dance poolside at one of the hotels on the main drag.
