Pensacola, FL; Museum of Naval Aviation & More Shrimp

Pensacola is home to the National Naval Aviation Museum, and several people recommended that we visit. Admission is free and even though I don't know a thing about aircraft, it was very interesting.

Garry had read a recommendation for this little seafood restaurant under the bridge, called Fisherman's Corner, and we stopped for lunch. The food was great and our chatty server told us about a seafood market called Joe Patti's World Famous Seafood. We always carry a cooler, so we made a stop there and bought some more shrimp! I think we had shrimp and/or fish every day in February. Heart healthy! 

Fisherman's Corner - Great fish tacos & amberjack.

We search out parks when we travel, and found Tarkiln Bayou State Park in Pensacola. It was a little early for the pitcher plants to be in bloom, but we found one!

Elevated paths made walking easy and I didn't worry about snakes.
