VMA-513 Memorial Day Float and Bloat

 To say goodbye to a whole bunch of friends who are moving this summer we decided to do the four hour float down the Colorado River. So much fun. Beer, jello shots and more beer. Good times

Brenden turns 4!

Brenden was able to have a party at Aunt Kristen's house before our trip to Florida, celebrate his actual birthday in Florida and have a pirate party back in Yuma when we got back. That is a lot of celebrating for a four year old!

Pensacola Beach, Florida

 
The fourth and last hotel we stayed in during the week was the Hilton and we had a fabulous room with an amazing view!

Fort Barrancas

Fort Barrancas sits on a bluff overlooking the entrance to Pensacola Bay. The natural advantages of this location have inspired engineers of three nations to build forts. The British built the Royal Navy Redoubt here in 1763 of earth and logs. The Spanish built two forts here around 1797. Bateria de San Antonio was a masonry water battery at the foot of the bluff. Above it was earth and log Fort San Carlos de Barrancas. American engineers remodeled the Water Battery in 1840 and built a masonry fort on the bluff between 1839 and 1844, connected by a tunnel to the Water Battery. This is the current Fort Barrancas. A $1.2 million, eighteen-month restoration project led to its reopening in 1980.

National Musuem of Naval Aviation

What an awesome museum! Brenden had a blast. We will have to go back to this place when he gets a bit older.

YEP!
