Checking In on Campus!

 

We arrived in Pensacola!  Wednesday, August 26th.

 We got ALL our luggage and went to get our rental car.  I guess they lost the keys to the vehicle that they wanted to get us so it took us awhile to even get our car.


For our stay, we saved a little money by getting a local Air BnB.  It was actually a one bedroom apartment that was about a mile from the college.  





It was not luxury - it needed a lot of updating for sure.  It served the purpose.




We are here!


It was pouring rain when we arrived in Pensacola.  Just understand, it could rain anytime.  The weather app wasn't very accurate - it kept changing.  LOL!  I did enjoy the rain though after a very dry summer in Oregon.


Addie worked on her class schedule and registration our first morning there.  Online registration began on that Thursday at 8am.


Once we got ready, we headed out for our day.  Right around the corner from the apartment where we stayed was Pensacola Christian Academy.  "PCA".  

So to pull this together for you, we home school with Abeka Academy.  Our girls watch real teachers teach their subjects in a real classroom via vidoes and online streaming.  Those teachers and classrooms are right here at PCA. :)

 So it made sense to make a quick stop here and take a picture!  This is Addie's grade school, middle school and high school - she has made a lot of memories from this school. All the way from K-5 to 12th grade!




Exploring the area - we found an Old Time Pottery.  Wow!  I haven't been to one of these stores since we lived in NW Indiana.  Which was a long time ago!





For lunch, we tried a little local place which I really liked called the Shrimp Basket.  Great food, good prices and laid back atmosphere.





They had their own hot sauce which was good!


Very good!


Heading to campus!

My college student!


The campus is so pretty!


I just love the palm trees!



Me and my girl - one of my new favorite pictures!  So happy to have this memory with her!


In line for her check-in appointment at 2pm!  Hooray!

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!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
