This as soon as school got out we decided to visit Florida. We have friends who live in Niceville and Chris has family in Pensacola. The drive there wasn't too bad since we broke it into 2 days. Our first stop was Niceville to stay the night with Tim and Deb. They have a house on the bay and it was wonderful! That morning I was even able to see dolphins swimming out in the bay. I want to live somewhere like that someday.
We went to Destin and hung out on the beach. The boys made some friends next to us and proceeded to take their chairs! They hung out for a while and our new friends didn't mind at all
Britton, Mycayla and I swimming in the ocean.
The waves were big that day so the little boys stayed away from the water. They spent most of the time playing in the sand.
The next day we drove to Pensacola and the spent the first half of the day at the beach
Emerson's footprints in the sand
We had lunch at the beach. I'm glad that they had outdoor picnic tables since we were wet, sandy and sweaty. The boys really liked getting to be big boys for a meal.
After the beach we went and had dinner at Kim's house and met Aunt Becki and Kim and her family. It was really wonderful to meet them and hope to be able to visit with them again. It didn't take long for the boys to warm up to them, but they did have the secret weapon....FOOD!
The next day we went to the Naval Aviation Musuem. All the boys (including Chris) were in awe! They loved all the planes!
After the museum the boys posed for some photos
After the musuem we visited the lighthouse. It was almost closed and we were pretty tired, so we didn't go to the top and just ran around the bottom. I got the boys to sit still for two seconds so that I could take a couple pictures
And then that night we had dinner on the beach. Complete with playground and sand volleyball
On our last day we just went to the beach on base. It is on the bay so there were very little waves and the boys were much happier with that. We were also able to find a lot more sea creatures and spent our entire swim with a big school of fish. They loved seeing all the fish swimming around them.
We were very sad that we couldn't stay longer and hopefully we can go visit soon!
