A day trip to West Florida

We are only 40 mile from Florida so we crossed the border for the day.  Bought our annual Florida park pass which just went from $80 to $120 several months ago, but we will use it. Today we visited Tarkiln Bayou Preserve and Big Lagoon S.P where we saw a bald eagle.




The highlight of the day however was the Naval Air Museum at Pensacola.They have lots of planes including sea planes I've never seen before. Everything from a Curtis Jenny and a Sopwith Camel; Zero, Hellcat, and Corsair; to a MIG15, Tomcat, & Intruder. Also covered lighter than air, space exploration, and a Ford Trimotor.  The morning started out at 75F but the cold front moved through today so we are probably looking at low 60F for several days.
