The House in Pensacola

This will be the first post in a series of posts about our trip to Pensacola, Florida, this past week. We got back, on Friday, from a relaxing and fun vacation to my parents' new house in Pensacola. They bought a three bedroom home in the Navy Point area, one block from the bay, near Fort Barracas.

It's a small house, but perfect for a vacation! Here is the view from the little back patio ...

See the water back there? It's one block away.

When you walk around that fence, you go down a small alley to a street that runs parallel to the bay. There is a walking trail that goes all down it, about 2+ miles long. Down just a couple of blocks to the right is a great playground and small beach. Brynne rode her scooter down to that playground (with an adult) several times.

When you walk out the front door and turn on the street to the right, the water is two blocks away.

At the end of that street, these are the views to the right and the left ...

It is so inviting and laid back and peaceful. I wish I lived there.

And here are some pics of the inside of the house. Adorable and so beachy!

I feel incredibly blessed that my parents purchased this home and just handed us a key so we can use it anytime we want. With stopping for potty breaks and one longer stop for lunch, we can drive it in a little over 13 hours. Not bad. We plan to go back for a week in October.

Tomorrow I'll start telling you about all the fun things there are to do in Pensacola.
