We just returned from our first vacation in TWO years and it was a much needed get-away for us! As luck would have it two years ago when we were last in Florida I came down with a horrible Upper Respiratory Infection, and was miserable the entire time. The day before we were set to leave I came down with a URI again, so it made the trip a little less fun for me but I am still very thankful we got to go and get away for a little while!
We were originally headed to PCB, but due to the devastation there, we wanted to stay out of all of the first responders way, and ended up going to Perdido Key/Pensacola FL instead!
Perdido Key is a great place to go if you want to do nothing but relax and sit on the beach. However if you like to go and do and see, you have to drive almost an hour to either Alabama or Pensacola, which we ended up doing every day we were there!
We spent a lot of time on the beach, it rained a few days but for the most part we had good weather! We also got to go see the Blue Angels practice and NAS Pensacola and had a blast touring the air museum!
We got to check out Fort Pickens, which is absolutely stunning! If you are ever in the area, it is absolutely worth checking out!
As far as eating goes, Peg Leg Pete's in Pensacola was amazing! Their food was great and we had amazing service! If you're up for desert definitely try their bread pudding! It was amazing! We also LOVED Sonny's BBQ. It is a sit down/fast food restaurant but the food was on point! They even have peach cobler. And if you are in the Perdido Key area, Lillian's pizza, was super tasty! It was a tad expensive for a pizza joint, but the food was great!
& That's a wrap on our 2018 vacation! Now it's time to get ready for the holidays!
