Pensacola

Palafox Pier & Yacht Harbour Marina is in the heart of downtown Pensacola. Located at the end of Pensacola Bay's east channel, the fifteen foot deep basin is a favorite for traveling yachtsmen.

Within walking distance of historic Downtown, there are quaint shops and many restaurants to explore.

 
The town was decked out for Christmas and that's when we found out about the Christmas Parade.

That night we walked into downtown with our friends, Bill and Joy to watch the parade and what a surprise, it was huge!

All of Pensacola showed up with over 80 floats, police, fire department, and high school bands. It was quite impressive.

 

 

A good time was had by all!

 

 

A must do in Pensacola, is to visit The National Naval Aviation Museum. The Naval Aviation Museum, is a military and aerospace museum located at The Naval Air Station Pensacola.

 

 

As its name suggests, the museum is devoted to the history of naval aviation, including that of the U.S Navy, the U.S Marine Corp., and the U.S. Coast Guard.

More than 150 aircraft and spacecraft are on display, including four former Blue Angels (the Blue Angels are based at NAS Pensacola).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that's scary!
