PENSACOLA

Well, here we are at Big Lagoon State Park for 3 nights.
We leave Sunday morning.
Of all the parks we have been to this is our 2nd least favorite.
The facilities are very nice, but just too much brush - no grass and just not pretty.
We had a wonderful time driving over from LA - the gulf views were outstanding when we got off I-10 and took 90 thru Pass Christian ect.
We stopped at Bellingrath Home and Gardens, so outstanding, huge gardens, like being at the MN arboretum and I toured the house. Like stepping back in time and walking through a new 10,000 foot house with all new furnishings from 1935. I didn't see one computer or TV.
People actually had to read books. By the way I am on my 4th book for the trip. Having so much fun relaxing. The only time it isn't relaxing is when we take a wrong turn when Jim is driving - other than that we laff a lot and eat quite a bit in our camper. Our meals are sometimes better than what we get out.
We had fun last night walking the beaches, you should have seen poor old Makons, so sore from running on the beach she was limping last night. Is she getting old? She will be 4 on June 4th. That makes her only 28 in dog years. Tell me Mac, you are closest to her in age. How does it feel.
I got a bunch of shells for the ice cream pail.
We went thru the National Museum of Naval Aviation yesterday morning, We did the first floor and took a trolley ride. Today we will go back and do the 2nd floor. We just play it by ear and end up with a full day and by gum it's always fun.
I just don't know if this traveling thing is for Jim and I. Time will tell. I can say I almost have as much fun camping in the North Woods of MN. Now is that sick or what.
We had to purchase Front Line for the dogs. Otto already had two wood ticks stick and I brush him every day. He loves being brushed. NOT!
Fill you in on today later.
