Gulf Islands National Seashore, FL
Today we had made plans
to go into Pensacola and
see some of the sights there.
Our first stop was the:
Now, I'm not one for this kind of museum..
but indulged George a bit.
I did find it kind of cool though :-)
I was amazed at all the different types
of planes, helicopters, and
other combat planes there were.
George liked the hands-on experience..
..but I enjoyed the personal stories
of the POW's..
We took a flight line tour on a trolley..
where a tour guide told us about
many aircraft that have been retired..
Our next stop was to the
Pensacola Lighthouse
There are 177 stairs to the top..
and we did all of them!
The view from the top was fabulous!
We could even see where we walked yesterday..

For dinner we met up with
at a great little place called
The Oar House.
We had a great meal, great
conversation, and a good time!
That is a great museum, we need to go back:)
ReplyDeleteWe did the museum too, but missed the lighthouse. Will have to go back and do that. Your view was awesome!
ReplyDelete177 steps to the top of the lighthouse??? You go!!!
ReplyDeleteI loved the museum, and you can't beat the admission price. You kids look like you're having a blast! :c)
ReplyDeleteGreat job of all those steps! Good way to work up an appetite. Excellent picture of the 4 of you.
ReplyDeleteClimbing the steps up the light house would have been my workout for the day.
