Barack Obama on the USS Arizona

Recently (August 2nd) i had my wedding, and my wife & I headed to Hawaii for an epic 2 week honeymoon. We spent the tail end of our honeymoon on the island of Oahu, where Honolulu is. One afternoon we were driving back to Honolulu and we decided we would go check out Pearl Harbor.

Meanwhile, unbeknown to us, Barack Obama was also touring around Oahu with his wife, 2 daughters & some family friends and was also heading to Pearl Harbor at the same time as us.

After watching the movie that documents the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor (which was very good by the way), our group of appx 50 tourists hopped on a small ferry and headed over the the USS Arizona memorial. When we arrived my wife & I noticed some cameramen with professional looking gear kinda of meandering around, and we figured they must just be shooting a documentary or something.

When we realized it was Barack Obama it was pretty distracting as you can imagine, here we were on this important historical memorial and then this guy shows up. I took a few shots with my trusty rebel XT, kind of wish i took more in retrospect. You can check out the pictures i managed to get here:
