Air Force Armament Museum, Eglin Air Force Base

The Air Force Armament museum visit was much more than I had ever imagined.  It was the proverbial bomb!  Located about 35 minutes north of here and it had a free admission to boot.  Our tour lasted about 4 hours as we also packed a picnic lunch to eat in the shadow of a massive B-52 bomber.

If you can imagine a display on every single different type of ordinance that has been developed for the Air Force.  From the Wright Bros to the current GPS or laser guided missiles.  Plus many of the bomber planes ever developed! Continue reading “Air Force Armament Museum, Eglin Air Force Base”

Black Friday

Today is supposed to be one of the largest shopping days of the year.  To me a good reason to stay closer to home and avoid the massive crowds.  Anyway, we are not really in the accumulation phase anymore.  Been there and have done that.  It was a real feat to downsize enough to live in the RV plus some items in storage back home.

Destin FL: the Halfway Point in Our Month Long Stay

We are truly enjoying the month long stay in Destin!  I continue to get up early each morning around 5:30 am and watch some local and FOX news while drinking a couple of cups of coffee.  Then I read some online news and a few blogs that I follow.  Then breakfast and go outside to read some of my current Michael Connelly book.  About 7:00 am is when Pat gets up and by then I have my long arduous task list updated for the day.  I’m not sure how I ever made it while still working!

Destin FL; Blue Angels Airshow, Veteran’s Day & Other Stuff

We are into our second week at Destin Florida out of the month long stay.  This is great to stay parked for awhile.  The tradeoff is fewer destinations that we can visit over our RV career.  Oh well.  They call the people snowbirds who live in the north and travel to Florida for the winter.  So, I guess we are officially snowbirds now.  For the next four months anyway.

Sunsets at Miramar Beach & Daytrip to Seaside FL

We have been at our Destin/Miramar beach location for five days and starting to get into some sort of a pattern.  Usually a morning walk on the beach, out exploring somewhere in the middle of the day and then back to the beach for the sunset.  Oh, there are the usual jobs around the RV and small maintenance projects as well, so it is not all a walk on the beach.  🙂 Continue reading “Sunsets at Miramar Beach & Daytrip to Seaside FL”

Destin Florida

We have arrived in the Sunshine State to spend the winter months!!  I have thought of escaping the cold northern winter climate for years and now it is actually happening!  After many years of planning and living through the challenging and stressful work life, the retirement life in an RV has been more than we could have wished for.
