Even though my protruding belly made it impossible to travel for Christmas this year, B still took two weeks off (the boy has too much leave I guess?) and I planned out a few fun things to do around the area. I even made an itinerary (albeit a very flexible one).
Here are some pictures of the fun things we did around Pensacola:
 |
| They had a beautiful exhibit of kimonos, and I loved this one. |
 |
| One night we went to a Christmas celebration at the Pensacola Lighthouse on base. Free cocoa and cookies! |
 |
| B climbed the lighthouse (free!) while I took pictures. |
 |
| B made lots of new friends at the zoo. |
 |
| And after this, a pelican tried to attack him. Not kidding. |
 |
| Next to the battleship was the USS DRUM pre-nuke submarine. Haven't looked through a periscope in a while! |
 |
| B didn't let anyone there know he was on subs. He wasn't nostalgic at all. |
 |
| We also walked down Dauphin Street in downtown Mobile. |
 |
| Beautiful cathedral in Mobile. |
 |
| Inside of beautiful cathedral. |
 |
| We grabbed some friends and attended a minor league hockey game--Pensacola Ice Flyers. Gotta love a fight. |
 |
| I'm mad because I told B to get us a drink to share and he came back with Dr. Pepper. You would think after 2 years of marriage he would know I hate that stuff!! |
Have you ever taken a "stay-cation"?
Oh, how fun is that? Looks like y'all had a really good time! We do stay-cations all the time!! They can be so nice to sleep in your own bed, but still do fun things!
ReplyDeleteI've been to that light house, and climbed it too! :) David took me there because it is supposedly haunted and I am a little bit of a ghost hunter. haha The story behind it is a good one!
ReplyDeleteLOL, after seven years of marriage and 12 years of being together, Hubby still forgets that I hate orange juice. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a great stay-cation!! We've never done one, but I should really put it on our to-do list!
