Starbucks is the perfect way to kick off an airport wait!
Mimosas are an even better way to wait out a layover!
Breakfast Tacos courtesy of TGI Friday's...amazing!!
Jer enjoying his Breakfast BLT. It was also amazing!! As far as meals go, best breakfast we've had in a LONG time.
Pensacola Beach. Our first stop after picking up our rental car was an open stretch of public beach.
It was simply gorgeous!!
After a walk on the beach, we did some more driving/exploring and wound up at a state park and Fort Pickens. The beaches and coast line are virtually untouched...it was absolutely amazing (more For Pickens pictures when I get a chance to download my real camera full of photos!).
After a day of exploring, we stopped for dinner at a place the guy from the Hertz counter recommended. Flounder's Chowder House was the place of choice. What a most delicious choice! We left full, sleepy and excited about the next few days that lay ahead of us.
Day one brought us a day of firsts. First layover between flights. First time in Texas and the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. First time getting a rental car. First time in a national park on an ocean. First time in Pensacola. First time visiting a historic fort. Whew! What a first day!
On day two, after a walk on the beach in front of our hotel, we took off towards our Gulf Shores destination...with a stop at the Naval Aviation Museum. And landed ourselves here. At a beach house in Fort Morgan with this view!
More on that leg of our trip to come!
For now, we're gonna get back to vacationing :) Orange Beach and Florbama here we come!!
