The King & Queen of Spain came to visit Pensacola yesterday for it’s 450th birthday. Garth and I rode our bikes to the festivities and got to see the King and Queen (and Governer Crist and Senator Nelson of Florida, and their amazingly large entourages) visit Ft George before their public appearence in downtown Pensacola. It was a deliciously warm day and we rode our bikes in the sunshine (we even got some redness on our faces!) Afterwards we had shirley temples and sandwiches on a second story balcony right over the bustle of Palafox Street. It was nice to have the whole day to just laze-about and not have somewhere to be. I even came home and drooled on my pillow in a quiet nap for an hour or so while Garth “whacked some zombies” (that’s what he calls playing Oogie’s Revenge).

This excitement promises to continue this weekend with at least 2 Mardi Gras parades, and random other fun-ness. (we have glow bracelets for the parade tonight! yay!)
