Yesterday was our second and last day in Pensacola. I’ve
NEVER had such a short visit, and I hope I NEVER have another visit that short!
Just didn’t get to do as much as I like to do or see as many people as I like
to see. But time was short this time.
After a little more catching up with Jo and a cup of coffee,
we set off for Destin. A couple of years ago, in a weak moment (Frank says that
it was all my fault), we succumbed to purchasing a Wyndham membership. Ours is
a very small buy, but we enjoy using our points every once in a while, trying
not to lose them in September. Our destination in Destin, Beach Front Cottages,
would use up some of the points.
We found the cottages easily, but ours wasn’t ready yet, so
we went to Pompano Joe’s for lunch. Started my beach photos there, and you’ll see
them below. I had Popcorn Shrimp Salad. Very good, but they surely do waste all
that rabbit food on me. I eat all the goodies off the top and send the rest
back with the waiter.
After lunch while we were waiting for our room to be
cleaned, we found the theater that we wanted to go to tonight. We seldom go to
movies, but this one would be our third in just over a month. The first two
were Unbroken
and American Sniper, both so good and ones that everyone should
see. The one for tonight is Black or White. It turned out to be
one that everyone should also see. Such a great theme! And a happy ending!
As we were looking for the theater, I spied my favorite
store, Chico’s, and determined to have at least a short visit there before
leaving Destin.
When we entered our cottage, we found a lovely little
apartment, just right for us, and spent the afternoon in it, just catching up
on emails and taking a peek at chosen junk mail.
Since we had had a rather late lunch, we went to our early
movie before eating dinner. We located the RedBrick Pizza Café just outside and
theater and decided to go there after the movie. We always arrive a bit early
so that we can get a good seat. Hmmm . . . very strange. We were the first ones
there, and we weren’t THAT early. A few minutes after we chose the best seats
in the house, another couple came in and sat a few rows behind us. Would you
believe that we four were the only ones in the theater? Black and White (Kevin
Costner) was one of the best movies we’ve seen, right up there with The
Blind Side. I’ll probably order the DVD so that we can show it when we
have guests if they want a good story, lots of laughs, and some tears.
The pizza was very good!! Tomorrow will be our last day of
real vacation. Somehow, we always manage to squeeze in a lot in a little time.
Don’t you agree?
