Our 'Staycation'!

Best. invention. EVER!

We were talking about what our vacation plans were going to  be this year. Yeah, so we're broke. But that's okay, because we live in the most beautiful vacation spot in the world, Perdido Key, Florida! I've heard people say it before, that once you live at the beach, you're too busy to enjoy it anymore. Yup, that's us. So in our effort to save money for more important things , we decided on a 'staycation'! There is so much here that we've been wanting to do but just haven't had the time yet! Bradley just finished up Intermediate, and before he started Advanced, he took a whole week off! Do you realize how rare this is?

We started our week off by resting and cleaning. I know, you're probably thinking, 'how boring'! But in order to relax, you have to rest first! So we did, stayed in the bed until 2:15 that day! It was niiiice!

We've been wanting to climb the Pensacola lighthouse here on base since we moved here. Yeah...been there, done that, and I definitely don't want to do that again! They say it's haunted...we didn't see any ghosts, but it was scary! We made it to the top, got the pictures to prove it, but you won't catch these two scaredy cats there again!

Coming back down...slowly!! The steps are so tiny!!

Aaaaand we made it! Whew!

Of course we had a beach day thrown in there which I did not take pictures of! We were borrowing a camera so we were constantly paranoid of messing it up so we didn't even take it out of the bag!

My favorite place in the whole.wide.world just happens to be about 1.5 hours away from us, so we headed to Destin one night just for dinner and to shop in my favorite little shopping center!! We had a blast and of course, Bradley's favorite part was the crab legs!

Nom, nom, nommmm!!

My cousin came into town to visit her boyfriend who was just stationed here. I haven't seen her in forever so it was really nice to hang out! Aaaand she got engaged while she was here! We got to listen into the whole thing- by accident of course. We were butt dialed! It was the best a butt dial could possibly be though! We had dinner with them the next night to celebrate!

The newly engaged!

And the old married couple ;-)
