WORKCATION | PENSACOLA, FLORIDA

Matthew had to make a trip to Pensacola last week for work (Praise for clients near the coast!), so I tagged along with him....turning his work trip into a workcation!

It was definitely a lot cooler than we thought it would be. Monday was the only real warm day, reaching almost 70. The rest of the week was in the high 40's to low 50's.

In all honesty most of the day looked like this....working in the hotel room....

but I did high tail it over to the beach to eat my lunches and as soon as I finished up my work for the day.

I went to a couple of different beaches/beach accesses throughout the week, but I think my favorite one was the dog beach. I didn't even realize I was at the dog friendly beach access until after I arrived. There were dogs EVERYWHERE....so basically heaven on earth. I even made friends with this little fella names Haus. Sweet boy kept trying to climb up in my lap lol.

and then one day I had the whole beach to myself at lunch. Very peaceful and relaxing.

Then this guy showed up and joined me down by the water...

Another favorite beach area. The sand was bleach white and beautiful!

I saw a sign that said there was sand on the road, but didn't think much of it until I literally came up on it. Is it snow or is it sand? Definitely looks like snow haha!

Matthew and I did try some new restaurants and enjoyed alllll the good food! A few restaurants worthy of mentioning....

1. Crabs - delicious crab cakes

2. McGuire's Irish Pup - very large and popular restaurant in the area with great food!

3. Global Grill - This adorable restaurant is located in downtown Pensacola. The best steak we have ever had! Matthew went three years ago when he was in Pensacola for the same client and he has mentioned it often over the years. He said I had to try it and I can confirm his opinion on it. Their worcestershire sauce is homemade in house with over 70 ingredients in it. The steak was cooked to perfection in the homemade sauce and then served over garlic mashed potatoes. My mouth is watering thinking about it again- YUM!

One afternoon Matthew had to stay pretty late at the client so I decided to watch the sunset on the beach. Without a doubt one of my most favorite times to be at the beach.
