Living on the beach....and loving it!!!

We've had a very exciting and busy few weeks! We packed up our entire house and moved everything to storage in Wisconsin. Then we loaded up a pull-behind U-Haul and drove down to Florida. My parents were so wonderful and offered to drive Mark's car for us. It was so nice not having to drive for two days straight alone in each of our cars. And of course it was great having their help when we moved our things into the condo! We had a great week while they were here. We went to the beach, went swimming in the pool and hot tub, saw the Blue Angels Air Show and went on a Dolphin Site-seeing Cruise! Breezy has adjusted amazingly well to our new home, and is loving every minute. She especially loves the pool (and asks to go swimming a million times a day)! Mark starts work on Monday and we are going to be very sad to see him go back. :( It has been so wonderful to have him home with us over the last few weeks. We have been informed that this is going to be an extremely busy year for him (especially during football season). However, he is very excited about the opportunity and anxious to start the year. We are all looking forward to many visitors this year!...hint hint... :)

Breezy and Amma


1st night at our place



We promised Breeze that we would take her to the beach on our first day. We didn't make it until after dark, but she was still loving it!



The sand here is sooo amazing!

On our way back from the beach, we ran into my parents who were in the pool. We let Breeze dip her feet in. The water was so warm and nice that we decided she could just take her clothes off and go for a dip! She was so exited!


View from our bed!

Breezy on our new hammock


Found my name on the wall at "Peg Leg Pete's Seafood"!

Sunset walk on the beach


Watching the Blue Angels practice (you can see them practice for free every Tuesday and Wednesday!) We all had a great time....they were amazing!






The Dolphin Cruise



We finally spotted dolphins!


I tried to get a good picture...but this is the only one that turned out.



The jellyfish was easier to take pictures of :)




Off to the beach!


Such a cute couple :)




Ate crabs for the first time at a restaurant called Crabs (original name, eh?) :)


Breezy's bedroom (she loves her new bed!)



She picked out the pillows all by herself and insisted we buy them! Too funny! :)



Our first cookout on the balcony



It's so fun to wake up to that view every morning!



Breezy and a little friend watching one of the free concerts on the beach. There are free concerts every day on the weekend and every Tuesday night.



We went to a really nice mall in Pensacola and they had a fun trampoline that people could go on. We thought for sure that she would back out, but she loved every minute of it!
