Konica Minolta Gator Bowl 2010

FSU vs. West Virginia / FSU wins 33-21
Sarah Beth and I traveled to Jacksonville, Florida for the Gator Bowl on New Years Day. Tickets sold out in 2 hours! Bobby Bowden's final game drew a game-record crowd of 84,129 at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. It was an exciting game and the weather was very cold!

The Blues (Blue Angels): Pensacola Beach

Red, White and Blues Week is not complete unless you see the Blues at least once! We saw the Blues practic twice; once by the Pensacola Beach Ball water tower, and further down the beach towards Ft. Pickens. Special thanks to my friend Pam to join her and to her sister Sharon's for inviting me to her beach condo to view the airshow.

See how close they fly by Sharon's condo. So close you can smell the jet fuel!

Ft. Pickens: Pensacola Beach

The road for vehicles to get to Ft. Pickens had recently opened after having been closed a few years from hurricane storm damage. We ventured out to the fort and a few trails. Another traveler pointed us to a nest that had three Ospreys in it. Sarah Beth captured a nice photo of the birds.
