Family Vacation for 3

Tommy and I decided that we should go on a vacation with just the three of us before the baby is born. We went to Pensacola over Labor Day weekend. It's the first time we have done a vacation with just us three. Tommy went to flight school there and wanted to revisit and show me and Lyla around. Lyla did great and we had a wonderful time together.

On the way, we made A LOT of potty stops for Lyla. We have a travel potty in the car which makes the stops pretty quick because we don't have to go inside anywhere. We also heard Lyla say "Are we there yet?" for the first time. We weren't even out of Jacksonville when she asked.

The first night we got there we ate at McGuires Irish Pub which was right across from our hotel. The food was awesome and the atmosphere was great. They have money hanging everywhere. We all three enjoyed our dinner.

Our first morning, we went to the condo where Tommy used to live. They are now vacation rentals. Tommy lived on the second floor in the condo right above his head in this picture. It's overlooking the pool and the tiki bar. Oh, to be 22 again...

Then we went to the Aviation Museum on the Navy base. Tommy used to work at this museum when he lived there. Lyla had a lot of fun there.

This is a play area for kids. I think Lyla is going to enjoy driving one day.

There were lots of old planes and helicopters to climb in.

This is the helicopter Tommy learned to fly in. Not the actual one, but the same kind.

After lunch at the museum and attempting to get Lyla to take a nap, we went to Pensacola beach. Lyla LOVES the beach. She enjoys playing in the sand and jumping the waves in the ocean. She even shared her toys with a couple of little girls who came to play with her. I thought I was going to have to charge for babysitting for a while there.
That night we ate at the Fish House. Lyla was so tired, I'm not sure she even knew she was at a restaurant, but she did great. She fell asleep in the car afterwards.

The next day we went to the zoo in Gulf Breeze. This zoo was perfect for a young kid. It was small so Lyla could walk most of it, but we did carry her some. They had animals you could feed and pet and you could get really close to all the animals.

After the zoo, lunch at Bagelheads, and a short nap, we went for a bike ride in the cute neighborhood near our hotel. We even found a playground for Lyla to play on. I think Lyla looks so cute in her bike helmet.

We had so much fun in Pensacola and I was so impressed with how well Lyla did. She hardly fussed even though we were on the go the whole time and she did great with her potty training the whole weekend.
