Pensacola

Blog sounds like something that should be short so I started a new one for this section.  Hopefully I will be able to post, but the baby is up from his nap and now that he's eating real food he wants three meals a day and snacks!

We kind of had a long drive to Pensacola.  My GPS said about 6 hours so you have to figure about 8 pulling a camper and a seven month old.  So we get to Aunt Ginger's about 4:30.  We lost an hour traveling east to west. 

 Aunt Ginger is my Grampa Bob's sister (my mom's dad).  She was the oldest of four with Arnold, Bob, and Renee' after her.  She lives on an inlet canal of Pensacola Bay with her husband of twenty three years, Larry.  They had made us a spaghetti dinner with garlic bread and a salad.  It was absolute heaven!  After eating on the road a home cooked meal was just what the doctor ordered.  Zeb even had some spaghetti for the first time and seemed to love it.  She shared so much of my family history with me and she looked so much like my great grandmother is was like going back to another time.

We had planned on going to the zoo the next day, but I wanted to visit more with Aunt Ginger.  We looked through photo albums and had a pot roast lunch. Aunt Ginger had made a cookbook and gave me a copy along with a couple of pictures from the albums.  The last three days had turned out to be the most enjoyable part of our trip.  We left at about two in the afternoon to tour our historical campground at Fort Pickens.
