The Bane Road Trip - Mobile Bay & Pensacola

We made our way from New Orleans toward Mobile Bay.  I was able to convince Greg to take the ferry across Mobile Bay instead of driving around.  Devin was waiting on the Ferry to arrive.  We were first in line to board. 

The ferry arriving.

We boarded the ferry and enjoyed the quick ride across the bay.  

It's a neat ferry ride, because you get up close to several oil rigs in the bay.  Definitely something we don't see everyday.  

Enjoying the ride!

Luckily we have some budding photographers in the family, which means Mom gets to be in a few pictures every now and then.  Thanks Devin!



Tate could stand to practice a little bit more. 

Pictures on the ferry, you can see an oil rig in the background.

Great picture of Devin.


After the ferry ride, we stopped for lunch at Lambert's.  Such a fun restaurant.  Devin and Tate were so excited to catch a roll.  Look at this smorgasbord that Tate had in front of him.  

After lunch, we headed for the Air Force Museum at Pensacola.  They have quite the collection of airplanes.  


Blue Angels!

Tate showing off all the planes!

Painted to look like a shark!

Devin sitting in the cockpit.  We might just have a future pilot on our hands. 

Tate had to sit in every cockpit and push every button.  He was pretending to shoot things down.  



Another plane to fly!


This time they decided to fly together!

Home of the Blue Angels.  It was cool to be up close and personal with these planes after seeing them fly in Evansville!

Blue Angel pilot.


I don't think he meets the height requirement just yet!!



After leaving the Museum, we had to stop at the Pensicola Lighthouse.  Dad not being a huge fan of heights, he stayed behind, while the boys and I hiked to the top!



We made it to the very top!  Love the view!

Devin and Mom at the top.

Tate and Mom enjoying the view.

Hiking backdown the lighthouse.  This is a still working lighthouse and the lamp when we got to the top was spinning.  It was interesting to see how it all worked. 


Pointing to the top of the lighthouse, where we had just been!
