Today’s Scavenger Hunt Theme is antique. So I will present you with some photo’s of things dating from the late 1800’s to early 1900. These things can be found at the Iolani Palace where the Hawai’ian Monarchs once ruled the Kingdom of Hawai’i.

Yes! I am proud of my heritage and of the fact that my 6 times great grandmother was a Princess for Kamehameha. And our family has the deeds to the land on Moloka’i that was given to my kanakawahine nui, my Tutu. And maybe someday, what was wrongfully taken from us will be returned.
