Adventures outside of Gulf Shores....

We spent most of our time in and around Gulf Shores.  However, a couple of days we did venture out of Gulf Shores to do a little sight seeing.
 
 
One adventure was to go to Pensacola, Florida to visit the Navy Air Museum.  This is about an hour drive from our house along the gulf coast.
 
Before we actually got to the museum, we visited the Pensacola Light House which is on the Navy Base just across from the museum.
 
 
Welcome to the light house.
 
View from the light house.  We climbed the 177 steps to the top!
 
 
I am climbing to the top of the light house.
 
I had to take a rest!!
 
 
 Don had to really duck coming down from the top!
 
 
 
 
This is a view of the stairs!... Pretty narrow!
 
 
A view of the light house grounds from the top.  It is a long way down!
 
Looking out one of the windows in the tower! 
 
 
 This is a view of the air museum from the light house.... this is our next stop.

We had lunch at the cafe there inside the museum.

There is so much to see here.  We spent the whole afternoon looking around, would have stayed longer, but they were about to close!
 
 

One of the views on our way back to Gulf Shores.  This was a good day.  The Air Museum was great and we learned a lot about the air craft there.
