Pensacola Beach





Pensacola Beach sign is brilliant at night. We went back to the beach two days later because "Crabs" restaurant looked like a great dining experience. Sign to entrance from beach stated, " No shirt, No shoes, No problem! We knew we were in for a treat.


Mercedes wants a Pina Colada and Meriah wants a Strawberry Daiquiri (virgin of course!) Wonderful seating from our upper deck open view of the ocean, Crab races below, a booming canon shot at sunset surprises us, but the locals say it gets them too. The moon casts its own shadow--very beautiful. The kids are pleased with their shrimp and crabs legs ordered off the kids menu! Rick and my meals are awesome as well.

Pensacola Florida

Rick and I took grandkids Mercedes and Meriah to Florida. First stop Pensacola! Just on the other side of our pool is the beach. Meriah spelled out her name in the sand. (Right)

Mercedes most unusual pose with her pool toys.


The following day we went to Pensacola beach but were not impressed with it. Tough act to follow Daytona and Deerfield near Miami, but the sand was near perfection. It felt great under the toes. The following day was the rescheduled Blue Angels Air Show on the Pensacola Navel Base. Much like the Thunderbirds that come to Bowling Green, but they also have a museum and IMAX theater where we saw "Flight of the Blue Angels" (puke bag please) and Mercedes and Meriah visited Desert Storm flight in the Simulator (puke bag for the girls please.




Awesome sunset
