8: Watch the Blue Angels Soar

The United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron, the Blue Angels, performs unforgettable practice air shows in Pensacola, Florida, most Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at 8:30 a.m. (through November). Seeing these jets twist, turn, and roll with the synchronicity of a dance troupe is mind-boggling at any age. Following the Wednesday practices, get pilots’ autographs at the National Naval Aviation Museum, which shares a home with the Angels.

Only in the South...can you go to the beach and feel a tidal wave of patriotism.
