Beach Trip-Day 1

We started our trip to Florida bright and early Saturday morning at 7am! We were going to be in Pensacola by around 2:30. We were making great time until we (me) accidentally took a wrong turn and had 2 major traffic jams. We ended up pulling into the condo parking lot around 5ish.

Bennett was so good on the car ride. He slept a lot of the way.


This was right as we were pulling into Pensacola. He had had enough of the car seat. I don't blame him. I know, I know. We shouldn't have had him out of that thing for safety reasons, but he was only out for 2 minutes.


Right when we got here, we went straight to the beach! I wanted Bennett to feel the sand and see the ocean for the first time.

He looked so sweet down at the ocean.

I made sure he had a pacifier so that he wouldn't put sand in his mouth!
He loved playing in the sand!


Here are the sweet boy's little feet and footprints in the sand. These are Neil's photography skills at work.

Mom said she would keep Bennett while we went out on a date. Of course I had to have picture of our little family before we left. We decided that we would just type in "seafood restaurant" in the GPS so that we could find some place to eat. We chose one on the list and it was apparently not open for business anymore because it directed us to a vacant dark building. So, we just pulled up to the first place we saw, The Crab Trap. It was pretty good. We only had to wait 30 minutes for our table too!






Here is the view from the balcony. It is so great because this building it right next to a state park. So that means it is NOT crowded and that there is not a building next to us!


So far, this has been a great trip! Stay tuned for Day 2!
