Blue Angels, Naval Aviation Center, Fort Barrancas, Lighthouse

On Tuesday, we started the morning off early to watch the Blue Angels Practice at 8am. There was a big crowd there for the event and we got to see some awesome maneuvers in the sky.

After seeing the Blue Angels, we went to visit Fort Barrancas.  It was quite impressive and walk through all of it. The architecture is really impressive. We were so hot by the time we finished that the air conditioned welcome center was much appreciated.

Our next stop was the Lighthouse. They had a picnic area where we had lunch. Everyone went up to the top of lighthouse except for Norma (Tom's mother), Matthew, Stephanie, Bradley and me. We did go through the house/museum.

Our next stop was the National Naval Aviation Center. We had a great tour guide, who had flown in a lot of the military aircraft and been in a couple of wars. He was very knowledgeable about the wars and the aircraft.

On the way home, we stopped at Walmart to get more groceries and a few beach items. We bought pork steaks while we were there and had them for supper with baked potatoes. Tom did a great job grilling and it was just as nice as going out to eat at a much less expensive cost.

After supper, we walked down to the beach again. Stephanie started walking along the beach and got this crazy idea to walk all the way to the pier. It was not easy walking on the sideways on a continuous slope all the way down the beach. My feet, legs and hips were very sore by the time, we got back. We didn't quite make it to the pier but we came very close. We made it to this place called "The Dock" which was 1.6 miles from the beach house. I mapped it out on my iphone when we returned.
