Pensacola Beach and a New Candelier

I realized that there is a lot of blue on my post today so I am linking with Blue Monday also. Thanks, Sally for hosting it! Be sure you check out all the pretty blues by visiting her blog at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/.
Saturday is here and it's time to go sightseeing. It's also time to show a few of our favorite things, which I am linking with Laurie of http://bargainhuntingwithlaurie.blogspot.com/. Check out the others' favorites by visiting Laurie's blog.

I just got our candelier for the gazebo so it's my new favorite. Of course, the gazebo has always been a favorite in our garden too. Sorry I have not had a chance to light the candles yet. I have been too busy organizing and gardening lately.

Let's go to Pensacola Beach!
We go to Pensacola a lot to visit John's dad and his stepmother. It's about a 6 hr. drive from here. Sometimes, we don't even stay overnight but many times, we stay in a hotel along Pensacola Beach.

Doesn't the white sand look like snow?

John's dad used to fly his own plane but when he became legally blind, he was forced to sell it. But that does not take away his love for airplanes. On several occasions during our visit, he would ask us to take him to the Naval Air Museum. I am not sure how much he can see but he really enjoys going there.

This is their home.

There's dad and me! That's how I look without makeup and after getting up at 5 AM and driving for 6 hours, lol. He loves to go swimming too so we also take him to the beach.

The couple are enjoying the breeze.

Just as I said, we like to stay in a hotel along the beach and enjoy the Emerald Coast. The water is really green even if it looks blue in this picture.

We take my mom along when she is staying with us but she is afraid to walk on the sand. Can you spot her?

The beach is still beautiful even at dusk. It looks so serene.

Sorry, I could not show you much except for the beach because we mostly just visit with each other when we are there instead of sightseeing. I hope you enjoyed Pensacola Beach. It's a very nice beach with its white sand and emerald green water.

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for visiting and I would like to thank Laurie also for hosting "A Few of My Favorite Things".

I hope you all have an enjoyable weekend!
