Pensacola and Mobile

































We drove from Orlando through Pensacola - stopped at Milton to have dinner with a friend from Coastie Chicks (Brenna) and her hubby (Christian) - he's just starting flight school and had some questions about Naval Aviation - hopefully they'll be joining the 60 community soon!
We ended up in Mobile and used that as a jumping off point for a few of the things that we wanted to do: IE: the Naval Aviation Museum and visiting with another friend from Coastie Chicks (Amber!)




Jack really enjoyed climbing into the Blue Angels' cockpit and playing with all of the dials!



Piloting his own aircraft!

This is how we kept Jack from running all over the store! Worked quite well! (I'm only kidding!)

Here's a special picture for all of our Kindred Spirit friends! Can you spot the odd man out? We've named him Clyde and he really is enjoying all of the different stops on the trip! Miss you guys!

For dinner we went over to Amber's house (a friend from Coastie Chicks) It was great to meet up with her (she put on a wonderful spread with a yummy yummy strawberry dessert!) Jack really enjoyed playing on the Wii with Chase (and chasing Logan!)

Here's me and Amber. I'm hoping that she'll get stationed in Kodiak next! What a sweet chick!

YAY! I'm so glad you are on your way! Only 29 days left, but who's counting, right? So glad you had some enjoyable visits with Mary, Amber and Brenna! Enjoy the rest of your trip and you better keep us updated!

We had such a great time meeting you all! It's so nice to sit down and chat with other Coasties who have been there/done that. Hope the rest of your trip is going well.
