Don’t Drive By! You have to Stop
I was traveling alone in Pensacola when talking with a gentleman who owned a food truck. He told me about the Blue Dot and where it was. I almost drove on by because it doesn’t look like much from the outside. I parked and went inside to a completely packed room! The locals explained the ordering process and a short time later I walked out with the best burger I’ve had! That is all he makes, burgers, but the best! Add a bag of chips and a drink. Cash and he closes when he runs out. It was a fun local place, a little off the beaten path with a friendly local crowd. I’m so glad I decided to go in!

Sightseeing
Fun place!
"For 2 adults and a baby, admission was $10, which included two cups of food that included peanuts, apple, and pasta.
Feeding the birds was a lot of fun! The bird named Lulu talked to us quite a bit. Lulu said, "Hello Lulu," "Hello," and some other things I could not always decipher. I thought I heard Lulu say "chocolate chip" at one point.
There were plenty of birds, including peacocks and emus.
I think we only had about 90 minutes before they closed when we got there, but we probably would have stayed a little longer!"
