Open for a drink

…Or two.

The Duke

Paoa Kahanamoku, the greatest surfer of them all.

Diamondhead watching over Waikiki

And Waikiki gives Diamondhead a look, too.

I'll have a seat under the palms

Watch out for falling coconuts.

On the beach

It's what you do on Waikiki, right?

On the beach

It's why we're here, okay?

A Hawaiian native

They're here, they're there…

Along Waikiki's main stem

Shop till you drop on Kalakaua Ave.

Where the Honoluluians live

Nice views, though.

Pink is pretty

There she is, hidden among the big boys.

Elegant

Still looks like money here at the Royal Hawaiian.

Smile

Time for those picturesque wedding pictures.

Around the front

The classic, and a great photo op.

The back door

Royalty stayed at the Royal Hawaiian.

Still royal, sort of

The Royal Hawaiian, still the Hawaiian icon after all these years.

The Royal Gardens

This way to the royal playground.

Playtime

It's hard being a royal.

Cooling one's heels

Gotta take advantage of that Beach weather.

Quaint shopping

But, oh my, the Burger King?

Once were kings

Kamehameha, king of the Hawaiians.

Back in the day

From a previous life.

Da capitol

Where legislators legislate.

The Royal Bandstand

Sorry, no music today.

Let it rain

But the sun must shine still.

The last palace

Iolani, home of the last queen of Hawaii.

The mighty fig

They aren't all palm trees, ya know.

Yes, a rainbow

Gotta have at least one of these.

Stop here

Clouds massing at the mountains.

Many roots

Those banyan trees dig the soil.

A little sway

Doing the hula.

Diamondhead, with tourists

Head for the beach, dudes.

Not Vermont

The last king.

Green Mountains ahead

Running out of town already.

Chillin in Montpelier

Just add a rocking chair and I'm in.

Looking good

Worthy of a picture postcard…or three.

Read all about it here

The home for all things books.

The Winooski goes under

Gotta make room for the river.

Across the mighty Winooski

And climbing the hill.

Books, we got books

Ya like to read, don't ya?

Flowers

Flowers for the Green Mountain State.

Now showing

At the Capitol in in the Capitol.

High Victorian

A classic of its kind.

Another Montpelier church

A more 19th century example.

A church with a steeple

Now, that's New England.

Meanwhile, across the hall…

The Assembly has room for several more.

Cozy in the Senate

Senators always have the nicest digs.

And flowers

Not a big place, but a nice long walk to the steps.

Small but mighty

Gotta fix that dome first, though.

On the main drag

A thimble sized street for a thimble sized town.

Proper Shaker hats

Where's mine?
