Ted will be in Pensacola doing some training before shipping out to the middle east. I'm going to drive down to meet him Saturday, June 6. It's been a while since I've been to Pensacola, so we need advice on a good place to meet and eat. Of course, anyone is free to join us to eat and wish him a safe journey. A time has not been set yet. Please give us some ideas. ;-)

you got my number, give me a call when you do.
Place to meet and eat

It gets packed but the Fish House has a great deck on Escambia Bay and wonderful food.

Jerry's Cajun Cafe has great Po Boys

Pizza, Beer, different atmosphere try Ozone Pizza in the old Sacred Heart Hospital.

Thanks for the suggestions. Have you ever tried the Bonefish Grill? I was doing a city search and it's looking good to me. http://www.bonefishgrill.com/
Benny, just an update...The Bonefish Grill doesn't open until 4PM and Rocket Dog would like for us to tour the Naval Aviation Museum. We came up with the idea that we would drive down Saturday morning, meet around noon to tour the museum, drive over to eat and hang out, then possibly come up with something else to do that night before going to the hotel. Whaddaya think?

Of course, everybody else is welcome to join us. :)

EDIT: He doesn't arive until Tuesday and then he will contact me with his itinerary.
You mean you guys don't want to come up to Pennsyltucky for my neighborhood garage sale???

Have a great time . . . with the 3 of you getting together there should be some tales to tell! :razz:
Thanks for the links. Since Rocket Dog is now a captain, maybe we can get a specialized tour.

...or even a ride with the Blue Angels. Can you see me in the back of an F-18? I sure can't. :rolleyes:
Sounds like a plan. I looked and saw that the Blue Angles are NOT going to be in town on the 6th... they are doing a show up in Illinois or Indiana. :-x But the museum tour is a great idea. There is a D-Day anniversary event going on, the Marine Band is playing a concert.

I made reservations at the Motel 6 for Saturday night, real decent price, it's the one on Plantation Road.

I guess I should plan on hitting town about 11:00 - 11:30 am ??
I am a few miles away(east 50-60 miles fortwalton beach) .marines or navy? one of my daughters got back about a year ago from irac(marine k9 corps)bomb dog handler. she figured it was better to have a buddy that could find the bombs instead of you finding them,I tend to agree with her on that one. as far as the fish house ,I've never eaten there but have heard mixed reviews.it was actuly on the food chanell last year the bald guy that eats any thing (peckers,nuts brains rotten stuff etc) he ate somewhere for breakfast then was told to go there.he went said on national tv it was almost the worst food he had ever eaten,got up asked everybody in the restrant how they could eat this crap.then walked out. I know there is a few good ones in fort walton beach &destin(basically the same place all on or in the water)just 50 miles east of pcola . I go to pcola about 4 times a year.was there two weeks ago,but its ben about 3 years since Iv'e been to the navel museem awassom!!! I went just after another hurricane that messed it up pretty bad,but it was still awassom!!! horse power is horse power weather your in the air going 142 mph on the watter in a cat or on the racetrack. the airforce base(eglin) has an airforce museem right down the road from me 3 miles.SR71 black bird(fastest aircratf made totly awassom)I wached it fly as a kid every day on okinawa . I think it might be time to go back to the navel mustseem. keep me imformed when to be there.my wife has taken off that week. hope to see you there

We hope to see you there. Rocket Dog (Ted) is a captain in the Navy and is an outstanding and somewhat goofy guy...a meeting not to be missed. ;-)

11-ish sounds good. Don't forget we're on central time so you will gain an hour. We might want to get a quick bite before the tour. You wouldn't want me to wither up and blow away. :rolleyes:
Give Teddy a big kiss from me....................
