Yesterday was a full day in Pensacola Beach to watch the big daytime parade. We drove to Mike & Joanne's home first to leave Gus there, then headed to the Beach to set up our spot on the parade route where we hung out people watching, enjoying great conversations, finding some shade, and enjoying lots of food and drinks we brought with us. The parade was from 2 pm to about 3 pm with more Floats than what we saw Friday Eve, more beads, balls, Frisbee and other items including spears. Jim and I each caught one of those as did Lori and Joanne.
After the parade, we all drove back to Mike & Joanne's home for dinner and fellowship. Gus was very happy to see us. Dinner was fabulous....Homemade Spaghetti, meatballs and sausages, with salad and garlic bread, followed by carrot cake and a King cake. No one got the baby which was in one of the remaining pieces of cake. It was a great day with friends old and new...Mark & Lori who's friendship we have been blessed with for about 30 years, Mike and Joanne who we met several years ago while visiting Pensacola and who have since become travel buddies, Debbie and Tony who we met two years ago through Joanne & Mike, and finally Mary and Chris who we met yesterday also through Joanne & Mike.
