Pensacola

It was tough to leave Grayton Beach, but we eventually tore ourselves away to continue our trip. Our next stop was in the Pensacola area to visit my former nanny, Claudia. We got to her house at around 5pm, and after saying our hellos, she and her boyfriend Frank whisked us away to Bands on the Beach. Bands on the Beach is an outdoor music event that's held every Tuesday night at Pensacola Beach. They have a different band playing every week, and hundreds of people show up toting lawn chairs and coolers full of tasty snacks and drinks. They also have a bar that serves Bushwackers, a Pensacola drink that's made with vanilla ice cream, half and half, Bacardi 151, Kahlua, creme de cacao, and coconut cream. You can order it with an extra shot of rum (which we obviously did), and barely even taste the liquor. It just tastes like a slightly alcoholic vanilla milkshake.

Definitely not a low-calorie beverage.

The next day, Claudia and I spent the afternoon visiting various antique shops, and finding some interesting treasures...

Looking  at you, Gomez.

That night, we all watched the movie "RV" with Robin Williams. Have any of you seen it? It's a comedy about a dad who takes his family on an RV road trip and everything goes wrong for them. It's kind of cheesy, but also pretty funny, and Josh and I could relate to a lot of things that happened to the main character.
Before we left, Claudia snapped a cute family photo of me, Josh, and Gomez in front of Ol' Tilly.
