disneydream06Thursday Nov. 10.
Mary had a doctor's appointment this morning, so I decided to head out on my own. I headed down towards Pensacola Beach on this cool and WINDY day.
On the way there I saw a billboard for the Gulf Breeze Zoo and was tempted to stop there, but I wasn't sure how long I had for Mary to be done with her appointment, and I wasn't sure how many animals were going to be out on such a cool day. :p So I continued on to the Beach.
I got there and it was WINDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shorts and tshirt just didn't see enough. So thankfully I had my jacket in the car still. It was still cold with the jacket, but tolerable. I kept telling myself, It has to be warmer than Minnesota. lol............
I saw a pelican dive bombing for breakfast. and a few gulls and other birds. I went out on the pier, and did I mention it was WINDY, and there were a handful of guys out at the end doing some fishing. And a few tourists checking things out. :p After coming back off the pier I went down onto the beach. Right near the edge and the walkway onto the beach there were a bunch of seagulls all standing there lined up facing into the wind. Kind of comical. I walked out onto the beach and I think I could have skipped my shower this morning because I was getting sand blasted by the sand being blowin' around by the wind. Kind of stung against my bare legs. lol... I walked down to the water's edge and there were a lot of jellyfish all along there. A few being washed out onto the sand, and if they were lucky they got washed back down into the water.
From there I drove down the road that goes along Pensacola Beach for awhile just to see what was down that way. Not too much so I headed back. Then I noticed this house that looked like a typical square house on the bottom, but then there was a round pod on the top. I had to turn around to get a picture of it. lol...
From there I headed up into Pensacola, and I was going to hit the Dairy Queen I knew was there and then drive along this one road that follows the bay and look at all the expensive houses there. Well, I got lost. LOL..... Finally I gave up and headed in one direction I knew would be a main road that would eventually get me back to the highway. :p There I heard this noise in my car and I though crap, what's that. Then I thought, Hmm, maybe it's my phone. lol... It was, and I just missed a call from Mary. So I called her back and she told me she was back home from her appointment. I told her as soon as I could find my way out of Pensacola I would be back. :p
We spent the day just hanging out at her place chatting and relaxing. :)
Sadly the time passed away and it was time for me to head back to the hotel so I could go to bed(yeah I am not there yet).
Why is it I feel so guilty when I leave friends like that when I am on vacation? :(:(:( Saturday night I will be feeling that way when I have to say goodbye to Angie down in Fort Myers. :o
So here I sit getting this written out when I should be in bed. :p I am starting on Blurty because LJ isn't working for me now. UGH............

LOL................
When I was driving back to Mary's I went over the bridge from Pensacola, and I was just a little worried that I would going to get blown over, it was so strong. Can't imagine what that semi driver ahead of me was feeling. :o
