Florida Vacation

We are finally home from our week in sunny Florida! It was an awesome time. We took the girls to Panama City Beach for 6 days of fun. While there, they went riding on jet ski's, we swam with the dolphins, rode on a banana boat and even para sailed over the ocean. Jessica and Jami also had to get their thrill ride in. Last year while in Colorado, they sky coasted over the Royal Gorge. This year, the rode the Sling Shot. It shot them 360 feet into the air. They loved it. We had the best Jack Daniel's ribs at a place called Pineapple Willy's, and had dinner one night @ Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville. Thursday we
headed to Pensacola so we could spend a little time with Jordan. Pensacola is not near as nice as Panama City, but it was fun. We drove across the 3 mile long bridge that is over Pensacola Bay. I don't know how many of you know it but I have a fear of bridges over water. Jerry thought it would be funny to take me over it not once, but 3 times!!! We went on Jordan's base one day while he was in school and went to the National Naval Aviation Museum. It was awesome. We even got a private tour behind the restricted area by a retired pilot. He took us to where they are restoring the old planes. There is one that they found in Lake Michigan that they are working on. He also showed us all of the old planes that they store there. It was really neat. We took Jordan and 3 of his friends to the Outback for dinner and then went bowling. Let me tell you, you have never really been bowling until you have been with 4 sailors! Let's just say it was a night that we will never forget! They were absolutely hilarious! But now the fun is over and we are home. Oh I almost forgot. Jordan is going to be home in October for about 2 weeks. He is going to be stationed on a new base to finish his schooling. He will either be going to Maine or Washington (the state). Hope everyone is having a safe and fun summer!!!
