Vacationing at Seagrove Beach - Part 2

I couldn't put up all the pictures in the last blog, so I am adding them now.

The Pensione is one of the few bed and breakfast places around. Their website is awesome and has great pictures of Rosemary Beach.


















The Cocina Pool where Shana & Jeff's rehearsal dinner was held.













Rosemary Town Hall is where they were married. It serves as a church on Wednesday nights and Sundays.

Vacationing at Seagrove Beach

This past week, Jeremy and I went down to Seagrove Beach, which is located halfway between Destin and Panama City. Lynette was down there from Sunday to Sunday, but we only were there from Wednesday to Sunday.

The whole time we were there, the sun was out and HOT. I couldn't walk outside without getting frizzy headed. The first couple of days there, the water looked like you were at a Caribbean island. It was so clear that you could see the bottom for a good ways out. We saw 4 dolphins swimming along the shore and several schools of fish. One school was even jumping out of the water, which made the birds dive down to try to catch them. It was almost as if we had visited Sea World.

Of course we ate some of the freshest seafood around while we were there. The Crab Trap has become one of our absolute favorites. I can't get enough of the shrimp and crab legs. We also went to AJ's, McGuire's Irish Pub, and Florida Bar & Grill. AJ's is just a hip place to be for our age. They usually have live bands every night during the summer time. McGuire's is known for there Irish Wake, which is of course green. It also has thousands of dollar bills plastered to the walls and ceiling with the person leaving a message on it. The Florida Bar & Grill (off of Hwy 30-A) had recently opened. It is on the pricier end, but well worth it. However, the dessert portion was too small for the price. So I would recommend you skip that and head to another restaurant for something bigger & more filling.
