(I wrote this on saturday...lol...quick trip!)

We just got back from our trip to pensecola.
left early on friday (10am) lol
got there around 4:30 and hit the beach.
Walked up and down the gulf enjoying the warm breeze,
saw crabs, fish, dolphins, birds...what fun!
then had the best steaks in town at a restuarant called Mcquires...fantastic!
then back to the beach for nite time stuff.
walked down to the water and discovered something really wonderful.
Have you ever heard of bioluminesence?
Our cousin brian told us this.
There are particles that light up when you run your fingers across the sand after the water has gone out and it lights up...like sparkles...of greenish light....it is wild!
so we kept running our fingers across the sand to watch the little sparkles light up the sand....crazy! YOu could even see the sparkles under the water up close...again you onlly see this at night when there is not a moon out. It is wild!!!!
So we get to bed late and sleep in to wake up to the tropical storm fay...knocking at our door...so we went to the front desk and asked her if we should leave and she said yes that she would not charge us for the 2nd night.
So we packed the car up and left.
WE had such a good time yesterday and am sorry that our trip was cut short.
This is our 12th wedding anniversary.

I woke up to flowers this morning anda bag of chocolate truffles, and a wonderful present....I have been admiring an artist work, small copper enameled etchings of trees, like a little book. He purchesd it for me....I was so surprised that I cried.

He is such a sweet man...I am so lucky to have him in my life.

WE had the best brunch today at the blue dog cafe:
Crawfish omelet, seafood enchiladas, creamed spinach, corn and crab bisque, shrimp rockafellar soup, corn bread dressing, and home made cheese cake and a bite of bread pudding with praline sauce.
I am so full!
WE are going to have a late supper tonight at our favorite restuarant, bone fish grill.
Will watch a couple episodes of Lost.
It has been a great anniversary weekend!
Just thought you might like to hear about it.
