Florida

Last Tuesday, we took a little ride to Florida to visit the Naval Air Museum.  It was a bit foggy/overcast when we headed out, but turned out to a very nice sunny day.

The following are some of the pictures we took.  We have not been there in quite some time and a new building was added.  Enjoyed the day.

Nixon out, Ford in:

The Blue Angel pilots were not there yet.  Will becoming in a few weeks.  Still are doing there winter training in California.

The following are some of the goofy pics with us in them.

Afterwards, we went to the Pensacola Lighthouse.  We did not go up it, because it is 177 steps to the top.  That is a little too many steps for me with my knee.  We went down to the beach.  Across the bay, you can see Fort Pickens; and that is where we camped two years ago.

On Wednesday, we went on a nature walk with the state park naturalist on one of the trails.  We saw some baby alligators.  I don't have a picture because they were across a tiny pond and we used binoculars.

In the distance, you can see the campground. We are at the highest point in this area. The salt water from the two hurricanes came just up to this area. The salt water is what killed all the trees and then they had a fire which took care of the rest.  It is beginning to re-grow again.

This orange plant smells just awful!!

This bush is Jasmine and it smells wonderful.
