Ft. Pickens/Pensacola

At Ft. Pickens we decided to go to the beach. It was the perfect day to fly our kite.

 

 They were looking at this Pelican (seen below behind Lydia). He got pretty close to us and was very curious. Lydia tried calling him like a dog.

It got a little cool, so we ended up putting my sweater on Lydia.

 

I was standing on a wall, and Rowan said, "Jump, Mommy, I'll catch you!!"

 Below is a view from our balcony (from the side). We had a corner room with a beachfront view. If you go to the beach during the winter, you get a pretty good deal on the hotel room.

We decided to ride the huge ferris wheel in Pensacola Beach (right across from our hotel). You can see from behind our heads that we were pretty high up!
