Florida ~ Part 2

We spent the day touring the Naval Air Museum at NAS Pensacola ~ home of the Blue Angels!
This was a sort of home-coming for me. Having a father who was a Navy pilot, Naval Air Stations are a part of my heritage and growing up experience! This one especially, since I had lived on this base for several years and my Dad was a Blue Angel during that time. And as the Lord would have it, we just so happened to be visiting during the weekend that the Blue Angels were having their airshow! ~ very cool!

We had a great time poking around the Naval Air Museum and then finally ending up on the beach in Pensacola. It was so beautiful!

The Naval Aviation Museum on base at NAS Pensacola is probably
THE BEST one on this planet!! ~ It just so happened that the day we went, the
Air Station was hosting their annual air show!
They had 3 different cockpits of an A-4, F-11 and and F-4 that you could actually get in!
Nick the Flying Ace!
They had these 4 Blue Angels hanging in formation from the ceiling!
There were airplanes everywhere!
! This was Nick's favorite! I think it's a F-18
After the air museum we headed over to Gulf Breeze and Pensacola Beach
Doesn't the name "Gulf Breeze" just sound delicous?!
Isn't this cool; they painted the water tower to look like a giant beach ball!
The sand in Pensacola is so white it looks like snow!

The water was warm!
The sand dunes were amazing
Nicolas running from the camera - ha, I caught you!
We had a nice time at the beach!
Beautiful!
