A few Sunday's ago we had a family meeting and came up with ideas of what everyone wanted to do the last six weeks we had left. We were surprised to find out their number one pick was...wait for it...Chuck E Cheese! Of all the places we could see they wanted to go to there? But we made the plan and the next Saturday we took them but first we visited Chinatown and Iolani's Palace since we were close.
Chinatown didn't have a whole lot of places to see, but they had some cool shops and food markets that were fun to walk through.
Iolani's Palace
If you don't know the history of Hawaii and how the era of their kingdom ended, click on my link. It helps you understand what this palace represents and why it is still important especially to the native Hawaiians today.

It was pretty neat to learn that they had electricity and plumbing before Buckingham Palace. The ruler at the time was intrigued by technology and had anything he could installed as soon as it was available.
