Pensacola

Of course the day started out again with rain but quickly stopped. I forgot we are in Florida - that's what it does! Traveled south to near Fort Walton Beach and went to Eglin Air Force Base and visited the Air Force Armament Museum. Nicely done. Lots of history of the Air Force. AF fighter pilots pass through this base at least once in their training to learn tactical shooting and maneuvers. This base has supported every conflict and operation since World War I.

From there we traveled the coast along the Gulf Island National Seashore west to Pensacola. Had to travel through the Pensacola Naval Air Station to get to Fort Barrancas National Historical Sight and visited the Old Pensacola Lighthouse, which is still in use. Long day but got to see some things.

Today, Saturday, we will find some more things to see and do and hopefully get back to the RV sooner than last night - which was 7:30pm. Seems this trip we are doing more historical things which is fine. Seeing RVs pull out daily, a number will leave tomorrow. We will be here until Wednesday morning, starting to head south towards Tampa.
