Pensacola, Florida

There were two main reasons we went to Pensacola, Florida. The first was to see the Blue Angles Air Show, and the second was to see the white soft sand of the beaches here. The air show was great. We went Friday night and Sunday day. The Friday night show was great because all the planes were lit up and had fire and firework spectaculars. But on Sunday, we actually got to see the Blue Angels fly.

This Helicopter was one of my favorites. It's name is Otto. Here he is flying backwards.

This is the largest group of planes that fly together. These planes were also made from kits by individual people.

 

Blue Angels. In some instances the planes are only 18 inches apart. Yikes.

Then, we also enjoyed the white soft sandy beaches of Pensacola. I don't think I have walked on sand as soft and fine as the sand here. Also, with sand bars near the shore, you can walk out really far and the water would only be at your waist. On one of my morning walks, I saw this bird in the water, sneaking up to catch a fish. He did it. It reminded me of a stalking cat.
