Road Trip - Pensacola Beach

It's been almost three weeks since I have posted, and WHAT a three weeks it's been! We had a little family beach vacation, dropped our daughter off at college, visited blog friends, and ate our way across the country and back trekked through nine states! WHEW! As much as I enjoyed that 3400 mile trip, it sure is nice to be home:)


Today's post is dedicated to our beach trip. Our family has enjoyed vacationing at the beach since SW was a baby. It seemed only fitting that we hit the beach one last time before she headed off to school!


The beach was WONDERFUL, but, judging by the pictures I took, the food must have been our main focus!!!













Anybody hungry??!!



The beautiful white sand beach was a real treat! My dad told me that it would look like sugar, and it certainly did!







A BP cleanup crew was working a ways down the beach. I'm not sure exactly what they were cleaning up, but goggles and handwipes were available at every boardwalk. The water was clear, dolphins were swimming AND schools of little fish were jumping all around the area where CB and SW were wading in the water.


The day got a bit stormy, but we were not deterred from enjoying our time outdoors!




This photo was taken our last evening before departing for Texas. I LOVE this pic of my two faves;)


Look for the Texas post coming later in the week. Missed you guys!

Nothing quite compares to the white sand beaches along the Gulf!

That was beautiful! The beach was just spectacular and the picture of Scott and Snow White is a perfect reminder for you of the entire trip.
