Blues Weekend Vacay

Matt and I had an awesome vacation this past weekend. We arrived in Pensacola, well Milton I should say on Thursday at my friend Ms. Trish's. She used to teach me Sunday school when I was growing up. She had spaghetti ready for us and a bottle of wine to help get our weekend started. LOL I just love this lady so much. She used to have horses and I have always looked up to her. She is a strong woman who is someone you don't want to get into it with. She's smart as a whip and knows her stuff. Her husband flew in Vietnam, Apaches and Cobras, and has gotten a Bronze star (The Bronze Star Medal (or BSM) is a United States Armed Forces individual military decoration that may be awarded for bravery, acts of merit, or meritorious service. When awarded for bravery, it is the fourth-highest combat award of the U.S. Armed Forces and the ninth highest military award (including both combat and non-combat awards) in the order of precedence of U.S. military decorations.)) and also the DFC, Distinguished Flying Cross. This one is one of the top awards/honors a military personal can get. (The Distinguished Flying Cross is a medal awarded to any officer or enlisted member of the United States armed forces who distinguishes himself or herself in support of operations by "heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight.) I could not imagine being Ms. Trish at the time while Mr. Raymond was in Vietnam. So obviously since Mr. Raymond is a helicopter pilot so that's what we talked about, then when the wine started flowing a little bit more we got into politics. All 3 of us agree that Obama is an idiot and has screwed our country in so many ways. LOL Then we talked about horses some, of course, and then the most important...my babies. :) Ms. Trish just can't believe that she was teaching me Sunday School when I was 13 and now I am grown and married with 2 beautiful children. :) She is like my second mom and always gives me good advice and tells me like it is. :) Love her.

When Friday morning rolled around, even though we stayed up talking until 12 midnight, we were up about 730 am. Go figure! We are so used to that with the kids. LOL Once we got our stuff packed we were on our way to pick up Kelly and head to the beach to check in. Once we go unpacked in our hotel we put on our bikinis and trunks and head out to the beach. We got the 190 Octanes, so good and hung out and walked around on the boardwalk. We stopped by our old partyin' grounds...Captn' Funs. Eh, it was ok.


Then when the evening came we headed back to shower and change and go meet up with some friends for a birthday. After a little while there we went to McGuires. OH MCGUIRES! It was soooo good. Matt and I LOVE their spinach and artichoke dip and I got my usual filet. Oh it was wonderfully delicious.

 All Snazzified

 Yes, I am married to this stud muffin :)

 Had to make sure the girls knew he was taken, although I do love it when they hit on him. I mean how could you not?

We met back up with our friends at the bar and hung there for a little while longer before heading home.

 Saturday started off with a slight hangover. Haha. But Matt and I got up while Kelly laid in bed. Getting her up is like trying to wake up a dead elephant. hahaha So Matt and I put our swimsuits on and headed to the beach to start our day. We started off with a Bushwacker...so good then headed to Crabs for some lunch before the Blues performed. The airshow started about 1 and the Blues weren't going to perform until 2. We met up with my bf Alex for a little bit then got another 190 Octane. Low and Behold!!! Kelly texts me saying she's finally up. LOL So we met up with her then headed up to Matt's XO's house (He has a condo out on Pensacola beach. It was right next to our hotel.) We watched the Blues from their balcony because they flew RIGHT by it. It was awesome. My favorite part of the entire show is when they break the sound barrier flying by. LOVE IT! We hung out with the XO and his family for a little bit then left and got something to eat at Flounders then went back to the hotel to  change to head to Funs and later on back to Flounders. I was able to see so many friends. I missed them all soo much and they were so excited to see me. I gave so many of them hugs and kisses. We partied into the night and had so much fun and soooooo many funny pictures. I love looking back and being like "What were we doing?!" LOL Those are the best and the funniest. Hence some of the following...

Sunday morning we got up, Matt and I, and went fishing with his XO for a little bit before we checked out then afterward we went back to Milton and relaxed and rested and re-hydrated the rest of the day. Well slept is more like it. Haha It was a great weekend and I am so glad Matt and I got to spend some time together doing what we wanted whenever we wanted. I was so happy to be home in familiar surroundings with good friends. I am off to watch the first Transformers. LOL I'm bored. Matt and I can't wait to see the third one. Probably will wait though and buy it On Demand. 

I will try and get on tomorrow to write and pictures of Blake. He is getting so big. I am having to put him in 6 month clothing and he's only 3 months. Geez. Anyway, have a good "Hump day" night.
