The Search for Signs of Hawaiian Life: Rockville, Md.

COURTESY ALAN DOTE
GEM OF A TRIP: The famous Cherry Blossom Festival lured Tanya and Alan Dote of Kailua and their niece and her fiance to Washington, D.C., earlier this month. But they thought getting a shot of Na Ohana Jewelry in Rockville, Md., was worth a stop, too. Tanya Dote, left, Raymond Lam of Waipahu and Jamie Chang of Aina Haina posed in front of the store as Alan Dote took the photo.
