Paddleboard

Labor Day Weekend felt a little strange this year. It may be due to the fact that the weather is still consistently in the 90s here and that pumpkin spice lattes will not be consumed for at least another two months. Let's face it....Labor Day isn't even close to the end of summer in Florida; which makes for a really awkward dynamic with the "white pants rule". Regardless, I never miss an excuse for a celebration so LDW was packed with fun from Thursday-Tuesday. Rob's sister Erin flew in from San Diego and we always have a little too much fun together. This weekend was no exception!

Showing Erin one of our favorite Florida activities...paddleboarding!

Dinner at The Fish House

Saturday we spent TEN HOURS at Pensacola Beach. Between floating in the water, playing Mega Pong in the sand, and watching football at the beach bar, the time just kept flying by. Thank goodness for seafood chowder and fried mozzarella at Flounder's!

In between all of the beach trips, we also ate...A LOT! Some days dinner came around and we were still stuffed from breakfast! On Sunday, we had to take a nap after brunch because we were just so full and content! (Endless chicken and waffles, bread pudding, and cheese grits...not a bad problem to have!) Oh Pensacola, how I love your delicious southern cooking!

Another great summer weekend for the books! We were sad to drop Erin off at the airport but so happy she made it here AND that Rob had lots of time off from school to hang out!

Looks like so much fun! I've never thought to try mega pong before- genius! Seeing pictures of the Diesel Fuel at Flounders and hearing about the Fish House make me miss Pensacola so much! Loved that place!

XOXO

Ughh, all of your in-laws are uva fans? That's disappointing, haha. And I don't like that Labor Day / college football were so early this year. We're still hitting 90 degrees, so it can't be fall yet.

That mega pong looks like a GOOD time! Is there a drinking game involved with it - or not so much? Those tropical drinks don't look too shabby either :) Happy September!

What a fun weekend. Same with CA, labor day isn't the end of anything, summer totally always spills into fall.

Isn't it awesome that we don't have to give up our Summers yet?!? I've never known anything else but I love it.

We've also been spending lots of time at the beach lately, trying to soak it all up before it's too late!
