PENSACOLA BEACH AND BOARDWALK

We have not been doing much out there in the heat and humidity.  Just biding time until we can move on for more sight seeing.  I have another ultra-sound this Friday, and that is to be the last.  All is well, praise God!!
Thus I do not have much to put in a Blog.  But then when I catch you up, it turns out to be too long a Blog!!
So will show you where we went today only, and do a catch up in the next day or two.  I have to get it all in as that is our form of Journal.  Don't know if we ever told that I have having the Blog printed in hardback now, by the year.  I wish there had been such a thing back in the 70's as I would have kept a Journal that way, though would not have made it public.  But printed in hardback, it would have been awesome for the family.
So enjoy the pictures from today.  We had not been to the beach since we were in Gulf Shores AL, so was enjoyable.  We stayed in the shade of the Pier while sitting out there.  Can't handle all of the sun.



Waves bigger than when we are usually there.
Yellow flag was out, so people were in the water.

The older girl was having difficulty getting centered on her board.
But the younger one took to it like a duck to water.

Another little girl was teasing the birds and they would take off.

But they just kept flapping their wings, while going no where.
It was fun to watch.

 When we left the Pier and beach, we went to find a place for lunch.  Close by we found Flounders Seafood Restaurant.  The Burger with fish and shrimp and cheese on top was great.  But we were glad that the waiter told us how big they were, so we ordered one and shared.  Good thing that we did as we were stuffed afterward.

This was huge and fastened to the wall.
Compare it to the wood grain.

The décor was neat!

Remember those days??  It's been a while, for sure!!

Stuffed and happy, we drove on up the road to the Boardwalk for another stop.  Not much to see there, but we heard that there are bands to be there Saturday evening.  So we are thinking about going to that, taking lawn chairs with us.
Below are views of beach from the Boardwalk.  The stores were way too expensive, so we were not even tempted!

Couldn't pass up taking a picture of this!!  Dick, Gary thought you would enjoy it.

Hope you enjoyed these.  Will get busy and do more real soon.
We left the beach area to head home on the northwest side of Pensacola.  On the way I took advantage of the time out using Sunday's newspaper coupons.  We stopped at JoAnn's, Michael's, and Hobby Lobby for scrap booking papers, so that I can get busy on Richie's 2013-2014 album.  It is time, for sure!!  Someone pointed out to me that there is a scrap booking group meeting on Friday evening at Olive Baptist Church.  So I will probably take advantage of that.  Wish I had known about it before now.  I could have gotten many more pages done.  But I am probably better prepared now, though.
Hope that you are all having a good summer and that it is comfortable weather.  We have thunderstorm warning for a couple days.  So we stay alert after  the floods a few weeks ago.
