    National Naval Aviation Museum

    Gordon and I enjoyed this wonderful museum quite a bit, and dad would have approved heartily as entrance was FREE. We were sad to have missed the Blue Angels twice-weekly practice as they are out of town for January and February, But there was a tremendous amount to see and Gordon was in Hardware Heaven. I am imagining that the 2nd photo shows what dad's working conditions on the planes were as a navigator in WWII. We also enjoyed being around the sailors, young and old, who were all around in both official and unofficial capacities. It was a very positive place, showing a proud tradition and honoring those who have served.Read more

    Bonnie BenedictVery good! There's also a Lighthouse somewhere nearby where you can climb to the top and get a grey panoramic view.

    TravelerYes, we passed right by the lighthouse. Apparently when the Blue Angels are in town, you can get tickets to watch them from up there. Whoo! That would be quite a trip in itself!
