The National Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida

Spoiler Alert:  This is an awesome museum that documents Naval Aviation, Marine Deployments, the Home Front during World War II and our Space Program.  If you're in Northwestern Florida, take the time to spend a day here.  The price is right!  There's no fee to get into the National Naval Aviation Museum.  The museum is happy to take donations.  Eric gives the Cubi Bar Cafe a very good review.

I love the area for 
kids play.











Learning is fun!
