Pensacola/Destin

This weekend, we decided to get out of town and wanted to go over to Pensacola. The National Museum of Naval Aviation is there on the Navy base, and it's been said to be comparable to the Air & Space Museum in D.C. The museum was great! Lots of neat old planes to look at, cool exhibits from the different wars, and an extensive collection of military uniforms/patches from all different eras. We also watched 2 different IMAX movies. We had a good time, and it kept us in from all the rain from the weekend. We didn't get to take the trolley tour to see the other planes outside because the trolley was broken, so we'll have to do that next time.

Here's Wade in front of one of his favorite planes.



There's also a cemetery with markers of thousands of servicemen/women. It was humbling to read all the of markers, with men & women having served in all branches of the military, and from World War II up through the Persian Gulf. I'm so thankful for the brave men & women that have fought for the freedom of our country.





On Sunday, we headed to Destin, one of our favorite beaches. The water there is ALWAYS so clear and blue. There was a nasty looking storm cloud looming over us, but we did stop long enough to get a good look at the water. Even overcast, the water is amazing.

My man.



The scary cloud.



Hopefully, next time we get to go for a weekend, the sun will be shining and we can enjoy it a little longer!
