What a fun birthday weekend I had. Since I didn't get to spend it with my family or friends Bryan and I left for the white sands of Pensacola, Florida. I am glad we didn't stay in Baton Rouge. I think it would have just made me miss everyone even more. Friday we got to the beach about 8:30 that night. I have always found the beach kind of eerie at night. So we went back to our hotel and woke up Saturday morning to the sound of thunder and rain. We saw that it was supposed to clear up around 1 so we got dressed for the beach and left for breakfast to wait out the rain. By the time we were done with eating the rain slowed. By the time we stepped on the beach around 10 am the rain stopped and the sun came out! It was a perfect day on the beach!

| Bryan loved the huge waves! |
 |
| I thought this was a cool picture of Bryan. |
 |
| Opening my birthday present from my parents! Thanks Mom and Dad! |
One request I had during my birthday beach weekend was to go parasailing. I had gone when I was younger with my family and I knew Bryan would enjoy it!
 |
| BYEEE! |
 |
| 800 feet high! I don't like heights but I love parasailing...weird I know. |
 |
| I love this picture! |
 |
| And 15 minutes later we were safely back on the ground...or water. |
After that fun excursion we were famished and and headed to lunch at Peg Leg Petes Oyster Bar. Neither one of us had every had oysters so we had to order a few.
 |
| When I tried them my face did not look as happy as Bryan's. Gross. |
After that as we walked up and down the beach ice cream was calling my name...
 |
| Since I did not have a traditional birthday cake I got birthday cake ice cream! YUM! |
That night after we felt we had got enough sun we had dinner at a restaurant called Crabs. Nope, seafood is still not my thing.
Sunday, our last day on the beach...
 |
| I collected about 100 small seashells for my next craft project! |
 |
| My cute hubby. |
 |
Goodbye, beach. I hope to visit again soon!
Thank you, Bryan, for giving me such a memorable 24th birthday! |
Um SO fun and beautiful! I loved all you pictures! Especially the one at the end...too cute! I'm sure it was difficult to not be with your family, but hey, the beach is the next best thing! Keep making memories lady!
ReplyDeleteThe weather did cooperate with your parasailing, huh. I seldom believe in destinies, but I guess that's it. A beach experience should always be a milestone - especially if you are with your better half. :) I think Bryan would certainly enjoy any activity with you by her side. That's how love goes. I hope it ain’t too late to say this: Belated Happy 24th Birthday, Katie!
