Gorgeous Hawaii

We are going to start with the “Big Island or Sandwich Island” called Hawaii. This island is one of the most popular places to visit in the United States because of its beautiful scenery. Hawaii is the biggest Island out of the eight and is 10,931 square miles long. Did you know that this state was the last one to be admitted into the Union on August 21, 1959? That means that this was the last and final state to become part of the United States. One of the most unique things about Hawaii is that it is the only state that is completely surrounded by water. Now, I think that is a pretty cool fact. Another fun and exciting thing about Hawaii is that the weather is so different from Oregon weather. They have what is called “tropical weather,” which means that it is hot, sunny, and somewhat humid most of the year. Unlike Oregon, which usually has four seasons, Hawaii tends to have only two; Summer and Winter. That’s pretty cool huh? Did you know that Hawaii’s capital is Honolulu? Well I bet you don’t know where it is located. It isn’t actually located in Hawaii. It is located in Oahu, which will be our next stop on our field trip to the Hawaiian Islands.

These beautiful pictures are of The map of Hawaii and two magnificent views to see when you visit Hawaii. The second photo, however is of beautiful Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii.
