For things to see, if you haven't already been to the Naval Aviation Museum on the west side of Pensacola it's worth doing. And it's free, except for the IMAX theater show. Most Tuesdays and Wednesdays the Blue Angels do practice shows in the morning. The schedule is posted on both the Blue Angels and Naval Aviation Museum websites. Both Big Lagoon State Park and Fort Pickens in the Gulf Islands National Seashore are nice campgrounds and can be used as a base for the museum and doing other stuff in the greater Pensacola area.
Florida has a lot of beautiful state parks. Hope you get to enjoy some of them.
As for routing. Unless you plan to go to St. Andrews or St. George Island State Parks, I'd avoid US 98 through Destin/Sandestin/Panama City. Traffic is never good and we've entered the time of year where it gets horrendous.
Safe travels.
