Tuesday's weather looks good, so we will be going over to the Naval Air Station at Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels practice.  It is located at 1750 Radford Blvd, Pensacola, FL.  It is about a 50 minute drive from Bella Terra, but add some time for checking in at the Naval Base security check point.  If anyone wants to follow me, I will be leaving at 10 am.  The show is free.

Tuesday evening, from 6 to 8 pm we will have the second round of coach tours.  It is amazing to see how different each one of our coaches are.  You are guaranteed to see something you like in every coach you tour!
