I must not have been looking in the right place. I have it set to where it retracts during travel but only .5 should I up that? I'll look tonight better at the settings see what I can find. Should I be using a different slicer? Could I get better prints with another slicer? Thanks for your help I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.

I just don't know what to tweak to get this problem to go away. Now I'm having a problem with the first layer. Ii have to print everything with the top facing up.( In the pic the top piece is with the top faced down and the bottom is same piece top up)
I just realized the picture did not post.

retraction is a global setting.
Everything else just effects WHEN retraction is used.
so the 0.5 just means that the head has to travel half a mm over open space before it retracts. The odds of you having a lot of 0.5mm gaps in the print are fairly small - unless you're printing a print in place part with moving bits. In which case you definitely want it retracting before each move.
I tend to always set the movemtn to 0. So it retracks before crossing any gap.
can't see any problems with your picture - you expectations of what 3d printing can do on a cheap machine might be a little too high :-)

So I should take it from 0.5 to 0.0 correct? I going to attach another pic of the print that doesn't look right and the one that looks right...
I bought this Ender 3 Pro to learn on. To learn the basics of 3D printing. I know that i'm not gonna get the quality prints that a better machine will produce and i don't expect it to. I do feel like it can be tweaked in the software and hardware to produce better prints than what i am getting.

first picture looks like it was printed too cool and probably too fast.
second looks about right.
With pla, for some reason people tend to print too cool.
I've never printed at less than 200. And if I'm printed fast and dirty I'll go up to 220-225.
