Observation Wheel

So on Saturday we headed off east out of Alabama to the beach front town of Pensacola Florida   First we drove to the Gulf Island National Seashore and set up camp at the campground.  That evening we drove 8 miles into the town of Pensacola Beach to see the sights.  The first activity was to ride the 360 Wheel of Excellence which they describe as an observation wheel.  This wheel is 200 feet tall and is the largest portable wheel in the world.  It has over 1 million white Led lights outlining the wheel and each of the 42 gondolas.  It was an exciting trip.

After our ride we decided to eat dinner at Shaggy's restaurant.  This is a picture of fried eggplant with shrimp and crawfish sauce.  It was yummy.
