Today we went to the 'Iolani Palace. It is the only Royal residence in the United States. There is so much history and we couldn't take pictures inside so please check out the website: www.iolanipalace.org
I was especially interested in the imprisonment room where Queen Lili'uokalani was kept after she was forced out of power in 1893. The actual quilt is preserved and displayed under glass there.
This is a statue of Queen Kapi' olani and Queen Colleen. Notice how beautiful these two queens are?
