The Naval Museum

Woke up the next day and headed out..we found a Cracker Barrel for breakfast (yup that's #2) and then headed over to their house...Shannon suggested we leave our firearms there bcuz we didn't want to leave them in the hotel and CAN'T carry them on base (we didn't want to spend the vacation in federal prison), and then headed to the Naval museum..Now I am not a fan of air museums, war museums, plane museums (see a theme here?), but I have to say I was impressed !!! It was pretty cool..i didn't understand most of what I saw, but it was still pretty cool..they had lots of cockpits for the kids to climb into and play with the buttons and switches (even Shane had a good time with all the buttons and switches)...It was Beau's first trip out in the "real world" and I think it's pretty cool they did it with us...I remember those days with Keira, we were so nervous taking her anywhere, now it's like we flip a coin to decide if we feel like going...ha ha ha...anyway..the museum was really cool and the kids had a blast !!! Austin kept trying to get the things to take off..he would get in them and yell "take off..take off"...nope, didn't work...Keira was torn between climbing into everything AND watching to see when Beau woke up...she would sit and watch the blanket to see if he kicked it...she would walk with Uncle Shannon and hold onto the stroller (she does that with when it's just me and both of them)I had to keep calling her off of it bcuz she will walk holding on the handle and sometimes pull you one way or the other and if you aren't used to it, it can be kinda irritating..lol...Uncle Shannon was a good sport about it though...After the museum they were kind (brave?) enough to take us out to a seafood restaurant...Pretty good for a first outing...I was nervous taking Keira to a parade in PaPa's front yard...lol...It was a cool restaurant on the "island" part of Pensacola....The food was good (at least everyone else's...they screwed mine up, but who's shocked about that?? ha ha ha), and of course in true baby fashion Beau woke up right before Kellie's food got there and wanted to eat...ahhh mother hood...years of being covered in goo and never eating a warm meal...lol..she did great, and afterwards I got to hug the baby while she ate (remember they screwed up a CLUB SANDWICH and I had to wait for another one)..then his Daddy got done and I got eat...it was a typical meal with an infant..play pass the baby til everyone gets a chance to eat...After ward they headed home and we headed for a tour of the island...
