Sunday, January 30, 2010 (The National Aviation Museum, Pensacola, Florida)

We were up and showered early this morning...we were going to The National Aviation Museum which is on the Naval Air Station Pensacola. We were on the road just after 8:00 a.m. heading out for breakfast on our way. We see ‘Waffle House’ signs all over the states....there’s almost one on every corner like Starbucks so we thought we would try one. We had a very good and very reasonably priced breakfast.

The museum is very well done...and again, I will show you pictures and leave you to go onto the website should you wish to learn more.
