Just wanted to make sure the Perdido Key forums mention the Blue Angels. We saw them during their Wed. morning practice session last week at the Pensacola Naval station, and they are excellent!! I was SO impressed and can't believe we've been down there so many times without seeing them. They are amazing!
The practice is free, as is the Naval museum. I highly recommend both of these activities when you're in the area. Perfect for kids and adults. Our 5 year old loved the museum b/c of all the cockpits he could climb in, plus the motion simulators. He also enjoyed the indoor playground.
The Naval base is a very short drive from Perdido Key, yet another bonus. Can't wait to go back!
