Our Thanksgiving Visit To The Emerald Coast

Happy Thanksgiving From The Emerald Coast

For the Thanksgiving holiday, we left Melbourne, FL and drove 8 hours to visit family on the Emerald Coast of Florida. That’s right . . . we drove 8 hours straight and never left Florida !!

Some of the spots we checked out were Destin, Navarre, Santa Rosa National Seashore, and of course Pensacola.

We’re excited for the season change. Change is good.

Btw . . . we’re making some changes here too.
