p 38
With my daughter Holly and her family living in Pensacola, we have been there many times.  Pensacola is the second oldest city in Florida.  It has a large historic district where you can take a tour of several homes and museums for only $5.  Pensacola was part of a Spanish colony, then French, then English, then Spanish again, before becoming part of a US territory.  The Pensacola Naval Air Station has a very large aviation museum that is free. The base is home of the Navy Blue Angels performing jets, which you can watch practice when they are in town.  Also on the base is the Pensacola lighthouse and museum that you can climb.  170 year old forts are near the lighthouse and you can take the free ranger guided tour.  With white sand beaches Pensacola is a tourist bargain.
