The Lyon Arboretum
After a nice leisurely morning with the family, John and I ventured off to the Lyon Arboretum in Honolulu. It's associated with the University of Hawaii at Manoa and is a research center. It's located way up the Manoa Valley. The flowers were incredible. Huge philodendron with 100' aerial roots hanging down, giant Begonia bushes, Indonesian cockatoos screaming throughout the rainforest. Hot, humid and loaded with mosquitos, but a great afternoon walk! A new adventure around every corner. Then home to play with the boys....who could ask for a better Saturday?
