After visiting the USS Alabama we hit the road at 10:47 AM with the hopes of catching the Pensacola Beach Air Show which started at noon. The Blue Angels, the U.S. Navy's elite flight team was scheduled to make it's long awaited return to the skies at 2:00 PM after taking 2013 off due to the federal government grounding them. We crossed the Florida state line at 11:15 AM. Mileage was 606.2. Up to this point we had been making superb driving time, however we spent an hour and a half in traffic to get to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels. It was definitely worth it to watch them fly right over our heads. It was very loud and you could smell the jet fuel. It was definitely a memorable part of this vacation and one that we won't forget in many years to come.
