Pensacola Seafood Festival

The weather this weekend was absolutely gorgeous (low 80s and sunny every day) so we tried to take advantage. We played a round of golf on base and spent ~~lots of~~ some time relaxing at the beach and by the pool.

Saturday night, we went to dinner and a burlesque show downtown with our friends Brittany and Paul. I had never been to a burlesque show so I had no idea what to expect. Let's just say we were not prepared in the least and our cheeks hurt from so much laughing. It was without a doubt the most funny night we have had in Pensacola

We spent Sunday relaxing on the couch, catching up on Revenge before the start of the new season, taking a break only to overindulge in fried foods! This weekend was the Pensacola Seafood Festival (there is seriously a festival every single weekend down here!) so we headed over for lunch. I could not believe how many vendors came out for the event. Between the two of us we ate a corndog, coconut shrimp, shrimp po boy, fried oreos and ALLIGATOR BITES! I was dying to try them and actually really liked them. (Sorry but I must say it: they taste like chicken) Rob however was so grossed out by the idea of it, he would not eat them.

Have you ever eaten alligator? Or been to a burlesque show? We were quite adventurous this weekend ;)

Ahhhh Revenge! I've been on a Netflix marathon for the last few weeks (bedridden due to an injury) and I can't get enough! I'm with Rob, I wouldn't be able to try alligator either :)

It looks like you had a ton of fun! All that talk of yummy food makes me hungry. Ha. Fried oreos are so good. I've never tried Alligator, but I've heard it was good!

SOO proud of y'all!! We love burlesque shows, women empowerment in a much more classic way than...strip clubs (although I am not super against those either...too much?) And alligator, what did you think? Were you a little surprised by the texture?!! I thought it would be much more flaky, fish tasting, but it wasn't!!

I had alligator in Florida when my husband made me go to the FL/FSU game. It was actually pretty good. :)

Clearly I am reading my Bloglovin feed backwards because I asked if you had gone to the Festival this weekend.. we missed out this year but normally I always go. My fiance loves fried alligator and I agree, it does taste like chicken. There is a place, The Butcher Shop, on the west side of town that actually sells it. I plan on buying some when Bama plays the Gators ;)
