my nephew came home from iraq this past week on r & r and we went to pensacola to see him this weekend. we were only there 49 hours exactly, and drove a total of 18 to make it happen but it was well worth it.

my nephew and his son


i have a ton of pics to share, but don't want to bog anyone down, so I'm starting this here, but will put the pics (most of them) in separate topics, linked here so if you want to look at the pics you can. the pic topics will be locked so make the comments here please!

perdido bay at sunset

McGuire\'s Irish Pub

Nice pictures!

That second picture of Kate and Matthew (with the dog) is an awesome picture of them together.

Wow, I wish I could've been there with you all! I bet it was great, looks so peaceful there. And yep that second pic is really great of the two of them!

Jiffy those are some great photo's . When I was driving in Fl. I always liked to watch the sunset and sunrise over the ocean always so pretty and peaceful. I would pull my truck to the side when I could just to watch.

GREAT pics Jiffy!
P.S. Your nephew is a HoTtY!!

Wow!! Awesome Pictures!!! I agree with Cindy the Pic of Kate, Matthew, and boo-boo is a 'framer!'

the sunset pics are beautiful!!! I'm so glad you got to see your nephew!!! 18 hours of windshield time truely is worth your family's few hours together!!
BTW Good looking people sure run strong in your family!

thank you all so much... i will be editing the first post to add the links to the other posts...

and yes, wrennie, daniel is well worth looking at. and every bit as nice on the inside

In Regard to the Pubs restrooms good thing you were coming out when you did!!

the bulk of the time was spent with daniel and his mother and sister


but we did venture out to see other folks like my gramma


and my aunt

Jiffy had to do a double take on his mother. She looks exactly like one of Billie's younger sister's Sue. So much so I just looked for a minute. Your Granma and Aunt are very lovely. Nice looking family anyway you go.

we went to perdido key also known as the redneck riviera which is only about 4 miles from the the house i grew up in

one of the spots on that we went to was the reef which is a restaurant upstairs and bar downstairs. the drummer in the band grew up in the same neighborhood and he is the same age as my brother. they were best friends/scrapping buddies growing up and he introduced my brother to my sil.

Oh, man!
I want to take a vacation so bad now...
.......with you!

I want to go to those bars!

I wanna go and see the sunsets!

WOW Jiffy, those pics are all just amazing. You all looked like you had such a good time, everyone happy and smiling. And the scenery... Ohhhhh so relaxing!!! Thanks for sharing it all with us!!!!

Beautiful...on all counts!! You must be proud!!

what a nice place to grow up in, Just beautiful!

The beach pic was awesome with the white sands

A lovely lovely family you have there Jiffy and everyone looks sooo happy and having a great time!

Great pix, Jiffy. Thanks for sharing your vacation with us. A great looking family!! Sue

i'm glad you have all enjoyed the vacation. we did stop one other place (another bar) called the angler. we poked our noses in to pick on my niece... and kate and matthew had a ball with her too, especially since she forgot they were old enough to get in, she didn't recognise them!



if you want to look, i added a couple of more pics to the perdido key post. including one of me
