Royal Pavilion
After checking out the pier we went to explore Brighton and found the Royal Pavilion. While the other girls bought tickets for the rides on the pier, two of us headed into the city and wandered around downtown. We made our way through the streets and stumbled upon the Royal Pavilion. The Royal Pavilion began building in 1787 and was completed in 1823. In 1815 John Nash extended and redesigned the exterior of the building and Frederick Crace and Robert Jones designed the extravagant interior. This building is gorgeous and the park that surrounds the pavilion is lovely. The large trees and beautifully manicured lawns made for the perfect backdrop for…

Brighton Pier

First Beach Day! Part Two

Diamond Head
Diamond Head is a giant crater in Honolulu. The climb up the trail is taxing, it is a steep incline to a cave then a sharp set of stairs to a lookout.
