Trip to Pensacola, FL - Part 1

 The next few posts will be about our trip to Pensacola, FL for our oldest daughter's high school graduation ceremony!  We home school through Abeka Academy which is out of Pensacola.  They offer a special graduation (actually two this year) for any home school student that is graduating with their accredited program.  How awesome!  We brought along our second daughter, Autumn, who is planning on attending Pensacola Christian College after she graduates.  So this is a graduation trip for Addie and a college survey trip for Autumn in one.  

The graduation will be held on the campus of Pensacola Christian College (PCC) so you will be seeing a lot of pictures of their campus in these posts.

Early start to our flight!  (Stupid masks.)  You can tell we are in Reno with the slot machines.  LOL!



Taking off from Reno, NV to Pensacola, FL!









Funny how we all have to wear masks but somehow the social distancing is not important anymore.  (Eye roll.)  Covid is such a joke.  Don't get me started.


We stayed at the Hampton Inn and Suites off I10.


Cracker Barrel right across the road!


Inside of the hotel.






Outside pool.


Bruise finally showed up from when Max pulled too hard for his walk and my arm hit the door frame.


Monday, we headed to Pensacola Christian College to spend the day. :)


Inside of The Commons.  It is a place for the students to hang out.


The Eagles is their mascot.


Up near their coffee shop. 


The Campus Store where students can buy supplies.



Mailbox area for the students.



Some outside pictures of the campus.








Outside the Crown Centre - this is the building where the Campus Church is held for the PCC students.  It is also where Addie's graduation ceremony will be held the next day.




These next photos are from their Sports Center on the campus.





Inside the Sports Center, they have their own ice skating rink.


Bowling lanes.



They have a mini golf course inside as well.


Rock climbing wall!




Large indoor space with a place to play volleyball.





Indoor mini water park with three water slides. :)



Also have a Flow Rider!  Pretty cool!





They have an indoor track for inline skates.  How fun and good exercise!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
