When you get home, you can impress all your friends by telling them you went all the way to Alabama for a pizza.

Avalon

Do something totally different with your day and get impressed by the skills of human engineering by driving from Pensacola to Avalon.

This mind-boggling feat of architecture stretches for over four thousand meters across the water and carries six lanes of traffic. It won't be a solitary drive as more than fifty thousand vehicles use the bridge every day. Have a pizza at Marco's Pizza on US-90 before turning around and making the return trip.

Warrington

There are a couple of good reasons to head south from Pensacola to Warrington, a township perched on the edge of the Bayou Grande where it flows into Pensacola Bay. The first is for a game of golf on a course with sea views and the second, to visit the National Naval Aviation Museum.

Pick up a pie from Hardees on North Navy Boulevard before you go and you can have a picnic on the beach.
