Last month, we went to the annual Senior Fair at the Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. We always take mom to get her free Kaiser flu shot. Art and I get our flu shots at Tripler Army Hospital.
We invited my brother and sister-in-law to join us since they belong to the Kaiser plan as well and could get their flu shots with mom.
Dennis and Nancy love to go fishing so they enjoyed admiring the huge fish with mom.
Art always enjoys visiting all the booths geared toward seniors.
Blaisdell was PACKED!
Politicians had set up booths as well hoping for the senior vote.
Mom had fun watching the hula danced to Japanese music. That was a new one for me. It worked quite well since most people probably don't understand the Hawaiian words.
They know seniors love to travel so there was a booth with Travelon items being sold.
I have a couple of their shoulder bags and love them so I don't need another bag.
However.... this was a backpack that I might love since it would keep my hands free.
It's going on my holiday wish list. You can get it a lot cheaper at Amazon.
Once we were done, Dennis and Nancy treated us to lunch at Gyotaku restaurant along with our nephew Barry and his wife, Miho who met us there.
All in all... a most wonderful day!

I normally would not enter a Senior Fair but you have inspired me to go see if one is ever around here. I figured it would be brochures on retirement and/or nursing homes.
ReplyDeleteWow, did you do all this AFTER the shots?
ReplyDeleteI still need to get my flu shot. I'll do it as soon as I get home from Vashon. Thanks for reminding me, Kay. :-)
ReplyDeleteyou know how to make the most out of getting a flu shot!
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty close to perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great family day. Now if you could get your brother to smile....
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've gotten a flu shot in forever.
ReplyDeleteI like Nancy's shirt.
ReplyDeleteWe got Art and Nancy those t-shirts at Kumamoto in Japan.
DeleteSuch a lovely day with family ♥
ReplyDeleteGood day!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good day and glad your Mom is protected. I always seem to miss the senior fairs here. I like the free testing they usually offer.
ReplyDeleteLooks a very good day.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the hula dance.
All the best Jan
This does look like a lot of fun! Thanks for sharing Kay! We get flu shots for free here, they will come in soon.
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun mixed with some practical solutions.
ReplyDeletenever has so much fun been associated with the flu. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've been hearing anecdotal reports of adverse reactions to this season's flu shot. I will get it anyway, because flus hit me very hard.
ReplyDeletesounds like a busy time but interesting and spent with family-what more can you ask for....
ReplyDeleteOur flu jabs are much more mundane - a trip to the doctor's surgery and a quick jab from the practice nurse. Your fair sounds much more fun.
