After settling in, it's time to head to the 'Bama (explanation to follow). On the way I snapped this picture from a bridge in Perdido Key...so pretty.
So, the "'Bama" as Chris so affectionately refers to it is the Flora-Bama. A huge beach bar on the Alabama-Florida state line which actually really reminds me of the Starboard in Dewey Beach. Famous for being home of the famous Interstate Mullet Toss where individuals on the beach literally throw a mullet from Alabama into Florida. The best charity event I've ever heard of. :) Anyway, it seems as though Chris and his friends have adopted the ritual of Friday nights at the 'Bama for $3 beers, which I got to experience. Again. :) Proof:
Saturday morning, we went for a long run (about 4.5 miles) and then headed to Pensacola Beach with a cooler full of beer for the inaugural beach trip of the season (well, for me anyway).
It's really hard to be apart, but with weekends like this, it's really hard to complain.
