Naval Air Museum and Luau

Camper went in again last week for slide issues- once to check it out and then to get it fixed. We got it back yesterday, hopefully it is done with problems since the warranty ends this week. We did buy an extended warranty just in case- this thing has been a real lemon so far but we really do like it.
We all went out to McGuire's Irish Pub for dinner and then went to see the movie "13 hours" in Destin.  Great food and beer brewed there, and almost a million dollar bills stuck to the ceiling and the walls. Good time was had by all.
On Wednesday we went to a Snowbird Expo at a local golf club, lots of people there. The local businesses gave out samples of their food, and also little trinkets.  
On Thursday we went to Pensacola to visit the Naval Air Museum since it was raining all day.  What an amazing place, with tons of planes and displays from WWII, Vietnam, an aircraft carrier. Blue Angel 4D experience was great, you really felt like you were flying them! Kirk and I also did the F-16 simulator. Not as good as the real thing but we got a good feeling for it.

We had a big storm on Thursday night- tornado watches all night, our weather alert radio went off every 20 minutes. Lots of lightning and rain, pretty scary in the camper.  Luckily no tornado by us though we did have rain that came in one of our windows. Sure wish we had gone to Kevin's!

On Saturday the park hosted their luau/seafood fest.  Plenty of good food, including oysters, shrimp, fish chowder, grilled chicken, mac and cheese, salad bar and dessert. Ten of us ladies did two hula dances before dinner.  They went well I guess. The audience sure liked it!



I've been having some medical issues - pain and tingling in neck. Spent 6 hours in ER on Monday having tests and today I had an MRI. Waiting for results. They did rule out my heart so that's great. May be a pinched nerve.  Pray for a good resolution soon! We plan to leave next Monday and head to Texas. Here's some pictures of the sunset Sunday night- great view from the dock. Phone camera doesn't do it justice!
