Nice - Thank you!
Happy Friday!!!!!
I, too, love visiting Pcola...the posting of colors, jets zooming overhead, climbing the lighthouse, chatting with pilots on Wed at the Navy Air Museum, AOs marching and chatting IYAOYAS, kissing the moose at McGuires, white sandy warm beaches (gotta take a picture of your feet in the water), great food at Flounders eating at tables in the sand, hearing TAPS at night...oh...yeah...I could go back in a heart beat!!
