This weekend, my family went to Pensacola, Florida for a wedding. Usually, I think weddings are really boring, but this one was at the beach! We didn’t get to go to the beach this summer, so I was really excited to swim in the ocean and eat seafood! We left late Friday night after the adults were off of work, so we didn’t get to Pensacola until midnight. It was a long drive and I fell asleep in the car. Everyone was really tired when we got there, so we went right to bed.
Friday was a warm, sunny day and we spent most of the day on the beach! Abigale and Blake were there and we had fun jumping through the waves and finding seashells on the shore. My favorite seashell is one that you can hear the ocean in when you hold it up to your ear! For dinner that night, we went to a restaurant called Hemmingway’s. It was really nice and we got to sit outside and could see the ocean from our table! I ordered fried shrimp, which is my favorite, and everyone else ordered fish. Blake loves oysters, but he didn’t order them because they aren’t in season. I asked him why they weren’t in season and said there is a rule which says that you should only eat oysters during months that have the letter “a” in them. I thought it sounded like a weird rule, but he’s a diver and knows a lot about seafood, so I guess he knows what he’s talking about.
Rachel and Kenny’s wedding was supposed to be on the beach Saturday night, but unfortunately, it rained. So instead, the wedding and the reception were both underneath a huge beach house. It was really neat because they had lights strung up all underneath the house! They only invited about 75 guests and probably 50 people were able to come to the wedding. We all ate and danced all night long. It was a lot of fun!
