Another typical weekend in Pensacola

I made half an attempt to capture my weekend via iPhone last trip to P-Cola. Land Friday afternoon/evening, make our way to Chris's place to settle in with my luggage (i.e. dirty laundry because I currently have coin-op laundry in the basement while I'm on the 3rd floor and it SUCKS- so I lug it all the way down to Florida. Because that's easier :). I couldn't help but snap a picture of Chris's roommate's cereal. The name is just... irresistible.

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:

You can't read it, but under the logo it certainly does say "Home of the Interstate Mullet Toss."


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.
