Day 12 - Its a Navy Day

The temperature took a drastic turn today when I awoke to a temperature of 57F. The temperature never did get above 75F today.
The gasoline prices took a lesson from the temperature but not quite as drastic, as the prices came in at $3.759/gallon.
I spent the entire day driving to Pensacola and visiting the Naval Air Base in Pensacola, Florida. The National Naval Aviation Museum, The Pensacola Lighthouse, and Fort Barrancas were all stops on the day. The Museum had some interesting planes, one in particular was Amelia Earhart and the Lockheed Model 10 Electra. This was the plane which Earhart attempted to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937. As everyone knows she disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. She truly was an inspiration to all (especially woman) over the world.
I am off to Plains, Georgia today to see if I can find a Peanut Farmer.
Back to work people!
