King Kamehameha Day Parade 2011 , Kailua Kona, Hawaii
Some Great Photos - King Kamehameha Day, Kailua Kona, HI 2011.

A little background:
Kamehameha the Great, also known as Kamehameha I and Kamehameha the First, was ruler of Hawaii from 1782 until his death on May 8, 1819. He is remembered for uniting Hawaii, introducing laws to uphold human rights in combat situations, and for being a fair and stable leader. His name means "lonely" or "loneliness" and he is sometimes known as the "Napoleon of the Pacific".
In 1871, the great-grandson of Kamehameha the Great, known as Kamehameha V, passed a royal decree that Kamehameha Day should be celebrated. The day was first observed on June 11, 1872, and was one of the first holidays proclaimed by the Hawaii State Legislature after Hawaii became a US state in 1959.
 
What a great day today, a little overcast, kept the temperature down, and made for a perfect parade. Not going to write a lot here, just enjoy the photos
