No better time than the day after St. Patrick's Day to post the 10 Stages of Drunkiness (as seen on the wall at Peg Leg Pete's in Pensacola Beach, Florida).
Publix. Whether we are in Florida for the Outback Bowl or for this vacation, Publix is a popular stop for us. Having our own kitchen on the trip, our first night we bought some fresh seafood to place on our gas grill located on the balcony of our room. We made this supermarket a daily stop for supplies, not to mention cleaning supplies for a mishap with Margarita Mix and Tequila.
The sign that pointed us to Pensacola Beach. Upon receiving our rental car, we were told to look for a sign with a giant swordfish on top and follow the directions. This sign is as iconic of the area as the Pensacola Water Tower shown earlier.
This is the property of which we stayed. Our room overlooked the Gulf with two bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths, a full kitchen, living room and washer / dryer. The property also had five swimming pools, tennis courts and the beach right across the road. It was nice to stay here as compared to the Spring Break hotels down the road.
And here we are at the airport. We arrived early, but we are anxious to be home with our little four-year old, Colin.
We stopped to play miniature golf. We won't discuss who won and who lost, but fun was had by all.
Here Dana is enjoying a cool beverage after a long bike ride. Our bartender, Shasta (left) was very engaging as she remembered every one's name after ordering. The most exciting part of the lunch was being witness to a dog falling into the water next to a docked boat. An older lady nearly ran me over on her way to the window in horror. When people began to shout, "The Dog fell in the water," Dana and I thought we heard "Dolphins in the water." The dog was saved and the older lady was relieved.
Night falls on the Gulf outside our room.
