As is always the case every year, we tend to get away from the homestead for a brief spell just to relax some and play tourist. This time our destination is the areas of Orange Beach, AL and Pensacola, FL. We stayed at a Vrbo condo in OBA and rode over to the naval station in Pensacola to visit the aviation museum that just reopened to the public. There's also a lighthouse we can visit and one can also stick around to catch the practicing of the Blue Angels. The aviation museum takes up two large hangar sized buildings, with planes clustered together and hung from the high ceilings. We spent a good few hours going through this museum, reading the different placards and recording video while enjoying the exhibits of the different aircraft, models, and displays that were built. Check out the video of this museum tour as well. With the aviation museum tour completed, we continued on with our day, taking time to get something to eat and find something else to do in the area. Tomorrow the plan is to come back to the naval station to visit the lighthouse which is off the main road we took to get to the aviation museum. Not only are we going to go in the lighthouse but we're also going to watch the Blue Angels practicing from the top of the lighthouse. That will be cool.
