Second Stop: Pensacola Beach

The drive from New Orleans to Pensacola was just a few hours and was super easy! 
The car getting messier and messier. Lol!

We got into town late afternoon and when we walked into the hotel (Spring Hill Suites by Marriott) we were just blown away by the view. 
From our balcony!

After we got settled we went down to the beach. The kids LOVED playing on the beach. It was 60 degrees and overcast so no playing in the water. We did play tag though. At one point when we were just walking and talking Dan and I look over and see Colt on his hands and knees digging with his hands. He looked like a wild animal burrowing in the sand. Lol!!! Oh our wild child. The water was beautiful and the hotel was right on the beach!

We then went to a restaurant called Peg Leg Petes and it was very yummy and very family friendly. They had an outdoor bar area for the parents and a little playground for the kids. I call that winning. I mean what else could you possibly need. Hehe. We let the kids play for a while then headed back to the hotel. After we got the kids to bed we sat on the balcony, had a few drinks and chatted while listening to the waves crashing. It was awesome!!!

The next morning we were planning to take the kids swimming in one of the heated pools but unfortunately we woke up to heavy rain. Boo. So we packed up and headed out of town to our destination. 

I wished I would have taken more pics but it got dark fairly early and we unfortunately didn't stay very long the next day. 

Overview:
We all really loved pensacola. We all want to come back again. It was such a cute town! It was a good combination of family friendly and fun mixed with relaxing and scenic! The hotel was great! It had nice sized rooms and wonderful views. It also had pools that I wish would have been warm enough to take advantage of. 

We seriously want to take another trip to spend some time there. Who's with us??? :)
